life on chessboard

One day I was under some stress.
 To have fun I decided to live life like chess.

 First day I spent like the pawn.
 Death is his fate from the day it is born.
 I helped others by putting myself at stake.
 They termed my efforts as a complete fake.
 Now helping someone is a sign of foolishness.
 I got killed like a pawn while living life as chess.

 Second day I spent like the rook.
 He has everything straight in his book.
 I tried to walk on a straight way.
 People molded and used me like clay.
 Life is not meant for straightforwardness.
 I felt cheated while living life as chess.

 Third day I spent like the queen.
 I became that confident that I never had been.
 I got charge of things happening around me.
 Nothing negative can surround me.
 My life found energy and boldness.
 I felt powerful while living life as chess.

 Fourth day I spent like the knight.
 He has short range but huge might.
 I started respecting small things.
 My life has found new wings.
 Wonders can be done even with smallness.
 Everything looked valuable while living life as chess.

 Fifth day I spent like the bishop.
 Everyone was down and I was up.
 I walked on a diagonal path like it.
 I used people without thinking for a bit.
 Your nature should have a kink to achieve success.
 I got the key to success while living life as chess.

 Sixth day I spent like the king.
 He orders his army for every single thing.
 When I started depending on others losing became my fate.
 I was losing the game of life and was about to be checkmate.
 Dependence on others just gave me cowardice and laziness.
 My eyes got opened while living life as chess.
