Video Games

Did you need something?

Sorry, I'm raiding

And I have plans with a friend

To do some high rank arenas later

"I can't right now"

Or

"Give me a moment"

And that moment turns into ten

Then twenty

Perhaps an hour that lasts a day

It's a horrible habit at times

But I don't regret where I spend my life

Twisted into the net

Immersed in this video game

Like an unhealthy addiction

Only it's not

It's my choice

You do your thing

As I hide behind this screen

Enjoying my time

Interacting with people

Over great distances

Whom I call friends

They don't judge

The way those around me do

Believe it or not

Just don't be fooled

By those creeps out there

But I promise

Good people exist

Over the net

You just have to find them

Notes

I'm incredibly sick of being judged

For playing video games

Look in the mirror

And realize

That I don't care
