Dillemma Of A Gambler

My income's low
My problems are much
If only there was a way
Maybe I should try my luck

Last week I tried and lost
Only by a slim margin
What if I lose again
That's too bad to imagine

Maybe with continous attempts
Oneday I'll hit the jackpot
Here's another failed attempt
I sit weary and smoke pot

Saving's much more better
That way,with time I'm sure to gather
A substantial amount can solve some of my issues
But what if I get it right this time, my chances will double

Walking into the casino hall again
Thesame feelings of making a big mistake
But the greed's too strong to tame
I spin unwillingly as if propelled from within

Wrong spot! Gone's my last buck
Once again no luck
I walk back home talking to myself
I'm I just stupid or I'm I stuck?

Back on my bed,a lot of thoughts hit my head
I've got some money somewhere
But its still not enough so I try again
This time I gather a little,I gain

Its one thing to win
Its another thing to know when to stop
The more I get,the more I want to get
Gradually my gains drop

Finally I'm empty walking on this road again
Thinking of what should've been done with what I've just lost
I've given out so much
So why should I just stop?

If I quit now,then I quit a loser
Yet its a viscious circle,a gambler's always a loser
In trying to recover all I've lost
The more loss I record
