Videogames



games are like curses
they get you hooked
you may never stop until
your back gets all crooked
staring into a very colorful screen
just using your fingers, nothing else
your eyes will hurt when you close them
and the rest of your body has fallen asleep
you feel tired and a bit guilty
for not completing your homework
you have just won a match against your rival
but still feel that
there is something missing
but don't know
games are fun but you don't want to stop
parents screaming at you but can't hear them
your mind is lost in the world with
the character moving, being commanded by you
games, what fun "play-thing" that everyone
desires to do and only do, Videogames
