Games

A Poem by David Burke
"

how I was feeling recently.

"
I hate playing games.

I've never been good at them.

Monopoly, I lost all my money in five minutes.

Clue, didn't have one.

Sorry, So am I.

Uno, f**k off.

I even sucked at hide and seek, because the only person I was 

trying to find was myself.

I was only good at games where I had to lie.

My favorite was I'm ok.

I was good at tag, because running came naturally to me.

I played keep away with my heart to avoid having it broken.

I played tug of war with my thoughts, just to win the right to 

go to sleep.

I learned that the game of life is never fair, because the rules 

keep changing and your teammates can't respawn.

Your gamer tag is written on your tombstone, and the only

cheat code is suicide.

Games are not for me.

I don't want to play anymore.

Could be a good comedy bit, I wouldn't really call it poetry though.

Of course that's just me... anything could be called poetry if you wanna call it poetry.
