Multiplayer Games are a sanctuary for when you are lost Because they make you shoot things or destroy things Strategically or whenever they pop up Either way your hand eye coordination will improve They allow you to achieve new awards and ranks To give a glimpse of how society rewards success How society’s ranks mean nothing more than an aluminum foil wrap in you trashcan when you don’t have the skills to back them up How the majority can reward contingent success over talent and ability How ranks become the epitome of depression and self-humiliation When you are the bottom step of the ladder Constantly made a joke of day by day To be treated like an equal until you present your rank To then be ignored and forgotten Because life’s not fair Which is why you are in front of a computer screen or looking for some form of satisfaction An excuse to praise yourself To say I did it when you haven’t done a thing Until you realize there are others Others that have flaws, hither and thither Flaws that make them feel the way you do You can go ahead and laugh at them to make yourself feel better But then you are only acknowledging the group you are placed in Because that makes you no different than the others that are ignorant and content with what they have. Or, you can take the alternative route and sympathize with them because you know how they might feel and somewhere in your heart, you see yourself in them So when you approach them, you can eventually come to patronize them When you discover their skills, they will let you utilize them And one day when you are working together, You will discover your own abilities The ones you don’t have according to your status So when you find someone with high status and a mountain of incompetence They will not be able to best you in anything you do So they come to realize, the only rank that matters in the world is the one you give to yourself.
Games will make gamers give up on the people that they meet Because they are ignorant or because you have lost your patience They can take a break and forget about them Only to meet someone else and regain the hope that you lost So you can regain the strength to make up with the person you abandoned and say “sorry” Games will make you blame others for your mistakes Which will never make you do well in anything You will continually fail until you reflect upon yourself Which will enhance the mentality of self-improvement and open-mindedness They will assist you in manipulating your stress into a strength So your frustration from constantly losing Will make you want to quit To take a break from all the bullies and ignorant gamers out there that are unable to understand your rage and frustration Even though they too should have felt like you sometime in their lives To feel so alone and afraid of the world outside your bedroom or living room Your dinner table or your closet To know how it feels to be hurt and on your own So one day when you see someone else that is afraid and alone You can think back on how you felt during this time and show them what you needed most then… Sympathy.
Games will Diversify a gamer’s creativity When they allow other people like you that wish to enhance and design To “quit staying at home on a tiny screen do something” To “stop wasting your time and do something productive” To make something special and regain the confidence you lost the other day, Because you failed a math test and felt ashamed Or got made fun of for doing something wrong Games are a sanctuary for when you are lost Godot
