I just realised what this fucking verse is about. I think I was using a game of chess to portray the positives and negatives of life and the constant battle between joy and pain. With both at times taking the upper hand but love ultimately winning.

I just did a very bad job at making my intentions clear. You know a piece is bad when the person who wrote it has to read it multiple times to understand the fucking thing. There were a few very good lines for a 16 year old but it's mostly terrible.

I also knew absolutely nothing about chess when I was 16.
