An IQ Test
Testing time, racing mind,
Anxious beyond belief
Your testing guides
Propped up at full attention
Reminding me of DnD
As you throw those 6 sided spatial memory dice
I make every saving throw
Every battle feels like my last.
Cloud of confusion, a permanent affect
I make it past one, two, three bosses down
Your breathing changes
I'm at the home stretch
I like this game, anxiety waning.
Last boss defeated, I stim a little dance
Fingers tapping, pressing, pinching
You tell me no one's ever entered that dungeon and made it back
In all the years that you've been testing.
I was the first to put together, to rearrange, to reassemble
every hand you dealt me.
