There is a game,

And life is the name.

Sadness and hunger,

Joy and anger.

There is love,

There is heartbreak.

Maybe pain, 

And a little rain.

But no matter how good you are,

Life is tough as tar.

I win and lose,

To this game,

And life is the name.

I don't know what to think of this one. It seems like everyone knows that life is a game, but it'ss more like THE game. You used words like "love" and "heartbreak." Maybe find some more concrete examples of what you face in life? This is a great piece.
