Flickering with excitement, my eyes
Watch the sun rising amidst the trees
Ears could touch twittering of the morning birds
As feet felt the fresh wet grass
Nodding acceptance towards me, the wildlife
Heartily encircled me with grateful appreciation
I was their saviour, saving them
From the cold chills of fire
Try hard to keep them alive, I should
Saving the smiling flowers, singing birds,
Troubled water, hopeful hearts- my task
I have to lead and I will
Hunting down killers and cruel humans,
Hurting the beautiful life beyond,
Earned me jewels and wide respect
I am their savior, I will save them.
Encircling around to cheer me up
Losing track of time, we stand
Not losing track of time, I have to lead
I ought not to let them down.
But I have,
My sinking heart yells
I hurled them to the pit of death
Not wanting to accept, I stare
Brown eyes wide and defeated.
I stare at the blank screen ahead
Screaming my failure, I lost the game
All the day's efforts drained in moments
Defeated, yet not accepting it, I try
Try harder to please virtual hearts.
I have to lead and I will....
