Life is a game

I'm stuck on the same level

Days and days go by

But I can't even find the monsters

Wandering the pavement, small talk and restlessness

I find myself again and again facing a wall

Impregnable, incomprehensible in grandour

NPCs giggle behind slender hands, PCs rush past without a glance

I am a human being! Can't you see me?!

Pixelated shrubs and unhappy townspeople,

Story line built through their world but not inclusive of their daily lives

I can't stay here, I can't stay here

Here, here, rhymes with near!

Here, here, need to get out!

Where are the monsters? I need a thrill

Level up, level up, level up, throw up
