Life is like a game of draughts.
Everyone has the potential to be something great,
Each piece has a chance at becoming a King.

In life there is always someone better than you.
Whether that be your boss,
Or your witty opponent.

No pain, no gain.
Life is about sacrifices for the greater good.
You'll sacrifice one piece
Just so the other has a chance at success.

Everything, no matter how small, is crucial.
Each move influences the game,
Each step influences a life.

Yet in the real world
No one can see what is right infront of them.
For this is not a draughts board
Where everything is black and white.

This is life and each day is coloured differently.

in the last stanza, "Yet in the real world No one can see what is right infront of them. For this is not s draughts board Where everything is black and white" on the third sentence, shouldn't that be an a instead of an s?(: haha i like this poem, it's really good.
