Ode to America's Favorite Playground

Truth be told
I do not lie
I stuck that needle
In my eye
I danced that dance
Of night's regret
I waged them all
I placed those bets
And through and through
It comes about
The fear I really
Could do without
That moment when
The odds turn
That moment when
My heart mourns
I keep ahead
Through the dread
Unwilling to sleep
In that bed
The one I made
The one I fight
The one I steer clear
When fate hails its might
I take it down
I up my ante
Knowing full well
What's stacked against me
A vicious cycle
I partake in
The highest high
When not forsaken.
