Here we go again
The clock is ticking
The yelling has started
And I'm losing myself once again
In their deadly game
But the rules have changed
And death is the key
Hopefully I can make it through
And prove to them that I want to live

wow.Short and intriguing.I love the seeming paradoc between the title where you ask why 'they" want to hurt you so much and the end where you suggest you are trying to prove them you "want" to live. This is a puzzle that can be decoded with many different scenarios.Life itself is a deadly game!This poem is a keeper.I love this just the way it is.Could not improve on it! Great job!

i hope you can prove it to them too..whoever "them" may be...
Short but how it has so much emotion is unbelieveable. Good luck and keep the poems coming.

Very short yet very powerful with emotion. You have displayed your emotions very well in this poem. Please don't let "them" win.

*huge hug*
