My awkward days and some random things

"My Experience With A Game Called Tetris" (original poem)

This was a poem that I had to do for a English assignment based on my experiences with Tetris, I hope you enjoy it :)

One day I saw an Xbox begging for attention

As I walked over there I sat, hearing the ding on the xbox as it turns on

And grasped the controller in front of me

I am presented at the home screen as I go to my game library

I didn't feel like playing something like Call of Duty or Minecraft

But I had a game that I originally had for my PC but my PC couldn't process it,

That game was called Tetris

--------------

After a few days, I launch the game for the very first time

I already knew what to do, I got used to the controls pretty swiftly

But I could only reach somewhere to 50K, then I top-out, I try again and again,

All I could think to myself was "Why couldn't I find a game like this sooner..."

--------------

It has been 3 months now and I still find myself playing around 15-20 rounds of Tetris

I have improved sightly and I have made my very first 250K run,

But I still build pretty slow, but I will do better as months fly by,

As I continued playing, All I could think to myself was "BOOM, Tetris!"

--------------

It has been 6 months now and I still play the game Tetris

I have improved largely compared to 3 months ago

And I have made my very first 500K run

My building speed has improved almost vastly

And I have unlocked a new Marathon map, called 1989

Which was the one with the Tetris theme in it,

All I could think to myself was "Wow, the music sounds so good for such a game..."

--------------

9 months now and I STILL play many rounds of Tetris

I have improved vastly and I have hit not just one, but two milestones on this game

One of those milestones is a 1M run and the other is a 3M run,

My building speed is improved slightly but not as close to where the pros are at

But All I could think to myself was "will get there someday..."

-------------

11 months and yes, you know it, I still play Tetris

I haven't played yet today but I may update you on how I do

Almost a one year veteran of Tetris and I still remember how I started

-------------

I now play both the classic and the modern version

But I am not as good at the classic version as I am on the modern version

But I am willing to try

All I could say to myself was "What a fantastic game..."

-------------

But I now realized that Tetris wasn't just the game that I am fond of enjoying

But the game that also saved me from the gruesome hands of my mental state.
