Poem

I look back on my life, what do I see,
a life time wasted playing video games.

What I didn't know then, I can understand now,
living  a false sense of fulfillment because I lacked satisfaction in myself.

What started as fun and games ended up a place for to me hide,
within the world gaming it felt like was accomplishing something with my life,
countless nights of broken sleeps, still seeing games when I closed my eyes,
all they really gave me was a sore head, and blurry eye's.

Attari under 5,
Comadore 64 under 5,
Calculator games 5-12,
video parlors 6,
Astro wars 7,
Hand held games 6- 12 as well,
Sega 12,
Sega mega drive 13-18,
Nintendo 13 too 18 ,
Back to Parlors 13-22 ,
Ps1, 21,
Nintendo 64, 22,
Ps2 23,
Ps2 slim line, 24,
Poker machines 24-30,
Computer games 27-35
Xbox, 33,
Xbox 360, not yet,
psp at 34,
Nintendo Wii, 35,
now i'm on Ps3.

If you wan't to take it a bit deeper, 
psychologically I mean,
the three main reason I play so long were:
Control, lack of fulfillment and anxiety.

Control was something I never had, In the games I did,
they also gave me the fulfillment I was lacking in the life that I lived,
anxiety is what pushed me to the games, within them I could hide,
this is why I stay addicted, addicted for a life time.

Me and video games, Yeah we been round the block,
I just shake me head now, O.M.G what a waste of time that was,
I don't play games often now, maybe twice a month I guess,
I just decided to find better things to do with myself.
