Don't Shoot the Messenger

 you only get
one shot
to make the best
of it

in the game of life
...tag
...you're it

extra extra
read all about it
life is a story
with an incomplete script
transcribed in the mirror's
reflective sands
as fingers control
reflection's hand
mysteriously connected
bound without string
but...blame and accountability
aren't quite the same thing
and it seems noooobody
wants to be *it*
just way to hard
to face* it*
its no fun
too much pressure
way to troublesome
to be the bearer
the one who holds the amulet
who wears honesty's charm
like a talisman around the neck
you try to pass *it* on to others
but they all run  away
catch someone is the mission
so you give chase
find someone, anyone
who will listen
reaching out to grab them
or at least their attention
if * it* is pass along
*it* shall remain infinite
don't be so hard on yourself
some things takes a lil practice
tell a tale of life
..  a vestige
but,if you focus on the messenger
you just may miss the message!!!
