Silver Border

as I am reaching my silver border
I remember all the things I have learned
I've learned to win well, but also lose well
and to not cry when booped into the well
I've learned how to become a good teammate
and it's hard to build a strong team with hate
I've learned you can't always win everything
and learning that one especially stings
and when I think that we can't win, we might
if our team puts up a good enough fight
I didn't realize 600 ago
how many pretty cool friends I would know
and yes, I've had some friends that weren't so great
and times I found out a little too late
I've also had friends that drifted away
good friends, but for someone else, today
yeah, it's sad, and I've wished they didn't go
maybe it's for a reason I don't know
but this brings me to my most favorite part
the ones that make leaving here at night hard
the ones who showed me what a real team was
and what coordination really does
the ones who insisted I would do great
the times I felt like I was just a weight
the ones who cringe at my terrible— amazing jokes
and I run from, for fear of being choked
the ones who make me laugh when I could cry
the ones who never want to miss goodbye
the ones who honestly made this time great
so I watched the clock, not wanting to wait
the ones sitting in menus with me now
making me think of the times that we're wow
to the ones who made all these levels fun
thank you, I hope it's only just begun

Note: This is for my friends on Overwatch who have played with me almost every day. Y'all are the best! Also, idk why the first two lines don't rhyme, I wrote this a while ago.
