Blue Casino

People

 

Don't gamble on me.

 

I know you like the risk

and everything

that comes with a blind box.

 

But trust me

there's gamblers anonymous

for a reason

and the 1 of 100 here

will keep you unsteady.

 

Your government is

cracking down on

loot boxes,

just like your parents

tried to keep you clean

from people like me.

 

Don't look -

don't search.

I'm in the blind

and these hands are

busy digging dirt.

 

Don't gamble.

There's no reason to risk

your everything

when sure-things exist.

Notes

Sometimes you don't know if you're good for others and that can make you feel like you're not worth the risk. It's not a competition to love and care about yourself or someone else. You'll be alright even when I'm gone reader.
