Good Game, John

A Poem

By Derek EversPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

All the games you've been playin', that's how you learned to play me so well.

Stuck in your video game world, you forgot I was real.

Already cracked from the first guy, your lies finished the job.

And somehow you convinced me it was for my own good.

But why did you play this game if you knew you didn't want to play with me?

I made myself look like a fool, said things I didn't mean because I was hurting and confused.

But I leveled up and learned I don't need to change myself.

And in the end... I won this game.
