100 Days of Feeling

3: Gamer

I've been through this time and time again

always failing, always loosing.

Keep fighting, I'm afraid of stopping.

Afraid of becoming nothing

if I stop right here.

Playing someone else's game

no duh I'm on a losing streak.

All I have left is spirit.

Fuck society, fuck their norms.

I'm leaving your game to play my own.

This game I do is not child's play.

It's a game of life, it's a game of me.

It's not funny, it's not worthless.

It's me. all me.

Take your jokes and sassy smirks

away and toss them out the window.

I can't stand it no more.

Let me be my own.

Don't judge me for the game I keep on playing.

Might as well as say it now.

This game is a metaphor.

Not talking about a game.

I'm talking about life.

My life.

Your words may affect me,

But you don't control me.

Who are you to judge

my interests, likes and dislikes?

They are my own.

And despite your will,

It's my will to keep them going.
