I Resign
by Roy dela Cruz
I've pushed pawns
Jumped like a knight
Even made connections
With towers and bishops
But no matter how I try
I just can't win the game
I blinked after I've moved
And found myself at the losing end
I have made sacrifices
One too many
But they always end up
Blunders that killed me
I can't go on always losing
I'm really tired of playing
And so I toppled my king
There's no sense in fighting
