Days

Another day, another start…
Nothing seems to be wrong,
So why am I falling apart?
The endless loop of life.

Even when I know I won’t survive.
Life is temporary and I should make everyday count.
Still, I can’t handle the fear and doubt.
What if and what if that…

I repeat the same routine and cycle still.
Till I am no longer able to withhold it in.
I play Medieval Dynasty day and night.
Three days in a row and I have not looked more bright.

Wait! That’s the demo?! I’ll get the game!
Damn, one more day I stay up late.
It’s so serene to live as another without bother.
Multiple lives I try in games.

A day later, I am back to reality…
Work, studies, and need for money…
The news, the people, and my family…
Maybe one more hour?

Ha! Three days later, I know I am full of power.
Sorry for my brain cells.
But didn’t you enjoy Sims, Stardew, Wylde Flowers, and Potion Permit still!
All those games that I enjoy so much.

Endless lives merge into one.
My days are so full.
Yet so dull,
If I don’t play.

The deadline is nearly up…
Darn, gotta cram this one up.
