The Gamer

All my realities are fluid
They've never stayed the same,
I'm stuck in an Unreal World,
I'm A Gamer who played the Game.

My fingers fly across the 'board,
I'm thinking far ahead,
Probabilities, possibilities, what must be,
So I Don't wind up dead.

I take the pad, I wrap it up,
I know what I must do,
I have to keep my secret safe,
And hidden well from you.

Times, places, the open spaces,
To which world do I belong?
Can I straddle both like like a collossus?
I'm a Gamer who can be wrong.

A spirit calls me over,
With something it needs to say,
"cherish the moment, dont destroy it"
I'm a Gamer at the end of the day.

I've walked a million landscapes,
Destroyed a million foes,
I've seen the sights,
Commanded Knights,
And landed many blows,
I cannot take much of it,
I've shouldered all the blame,
What more is there left to lose?
I'm a Gamer, trapped and dieing in the Game.

Welcome to Passions.  There are all sorts of games,
all sorts of players.
Choosing to always be a player
in any of them
is usually a good decision.

Well done.  Enjoy your time here within the blue pages.

Enjoyed the read. We all have secrets others need never know.

Thanks,

I really understood this poem. It works well on different levels, but as a RPG player I liked the literal defeating foes and death that you do experiance in all RPGs.
Nicely done,

Great babe   I knew you'd fit right in when nudged in the right direction.  Your words send shivers down my spine.

*waiting impatiently to see more *

Always,

"I've seen the sights, commanded knights."

   I like the flow of this.  Welcome   Joyce

@ Perseph1ne ~ Aye, I have spent the last 15 years more or less playing RPG's and it shows

@ Angel ~ We shall see babe

@ Joyce ~ Having re-read it a few times I have to say this is probably my favourite paragraph, it has a good rhythm to it

Thanks to all who posted, appreciate it
