Kids beg please

On their knees

The dad grants wishes like a genie

You may not know it

The kid may show it

From an early age you want to understand it completely

Just sitting there with

A blank stare

As others join him discreetly

Until you understand

What’s at hand?

How video games affected my life completely

Sit down, Log in

It is easy as that

I'm transported into a new world of fantasies

And what does that?

Movies, Music, Dreams they’re all too specific

Instead they all share one thing in common

They're pseudo scientific

At that moment you are in that world

With infinite people to prove

Dungeons, quests, killing requests

The system keeps you on the move

Started off poor, I became rich

That’s all it’s about

Leveling up skills, there is no end,

Beyond any doubt

Hand eye coordination and

Consistent daily dedication is what it will take

Until I failed to realize that I've wasted my whole day (having nothing to do)

During a 2 hour service break

I lived that way for many years

I ignored all that happened around me

Until I learned to conquer this video game addiction

I wouldn't be able to live life completely

Of the time my grades decline,

My real life bonds suffered briefly

So I stopped right there, that blank stare

I choose to seek help, quite needy

At first I turned to a friend

All those who recommend

Wanted to figure out why I've failed uniquely

A simple request

Many second guessed

Received no serious answer

At first I was afraid to ask

For a simple task

They've always responded chiefly

Just uninstall the game, it’s so easy

-Not as simple as it sounds

If I leave the game all behind

I won't finish what had been assigned

What did I get?

Deep regret for all the wasted time and increasing debt?

How did I get so tied up in this game?

I've become too complacent

The complacence grew to become the bane of my existence

The idea of change in which I developed much resistance

To eliminate this mindset I simply prayed to God

"Please guide me through this dense fog"

In the meantime, I practiced patience

And turned to productivity to compensate for my life’s inactivity

Few weeks later, God responded

Just exactly what I've wanted

It was a miracle Father Edgar came along whom I've greatly respected

In between adoration we first met

The reconciliation during confirmation retreat is when he detected

I felt compelled to listen to his advice

Telling him anything I've sinned for, that would hopefully suffice

It turned out that I've forgotten about God almost completely

I was lost in a world of monotony that I fell into so deeply

I logged off the game

And prayed once more

I wanted to end this one hundred years war

I logged back on,

On to LIFE

I've finally realized why God has put me through this strife

I've learned to rejoice from my life lessons

Even the bad

Take full benefit of every one,

Even those that make you and me mad

Life is like a video game with boundless amounts to do

I have realized that seeking help is not as harsh as sitting there not knowing what to do

In order to seek success

Remember that there is time for work and time for play

Just don’t forget to log back on to a faithful life and consistently pray
