LIFE IS THE GAME OF INCHES

...We're in hell right know...believe me..
and we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us...or we can fight our way back...
we can climb out of hell...one inch at a time.....
....You know , when you get older in life things get taken from it....i mean that's part of life.
but you only learn that when you start losing staff...you find out that life is the GAME OF INCHES...
because in any game....the margin for error is so small, i mean one half step too late or too early..and you dont quite make it..
one half second too slow or too fast and you dont quite catch it....the inches we need are everywhere around us...there are in every
break in a game....every minute...every second...
..........and When we add up all those inches that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing...between living and dying...
