Just a Game

Just a Game

A Poem by JLMatthews

Just a Game

Momma’s sick

Daddy’s yelling

It’s okay though

I’ll just play my games…

I messed up

Reset

Sister’s their favorite

I’m a mistake

It’s okay though

I’ll just play my games…

I messed up

Reset

Brother’s a genius

I’m not

It’s okay though

I’ll just play my games….

I messed up

Reset

Momma’s drunk

Daddy too

It’s okay though

I’ll just play my games…

I messed up

Reset

Daddy’s mad

I’m bleeding

It’s okay though

I’ll just play my games….

I messed up

Reset

I’m  really mad…

Daddy….fell down the stairs

I really messed up this time

Can I reset?

No?

Okay

I’ll just turn the power off

Wow, Wow, Wow, Speachleas! Honestly, this is one of the best, most origingal poems I have read here. The flow of words revealing pain, the anger of a child in a monstrous world. I relate to this so much.
