Analysis of "Games"



Games make time go by,
They give life when sick and tired,
Helps when we are sad,
Games give us fun when we bore,
When we play we feel insane.

I'm 16, I live in Colorado.And I believe in God.I come from a big family, and most of em are moving out by now.I love music, probably too much. I always have my headphones handy if I need to escape.I dont care about the "Rules" of poetry. To me, Poetry is how I express myself and how I share my thoughts and opinions with others.If I can read it, It's worth reading.(Unless it's a sex poem, Those are just worthless.)Please leave a comment if you read my poems and feel you have something to say.It seems like people just zero bomb some of my stuff when I first upload it, I dont mind it, I just wish that people could leave critisism about how I could do better instead of simply destroying my ratings.If you feel like giving me a bad rating, please tell me why.That's all :)"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."
