Don'T Be Mario

Why should I face the monsters and fight the battles?
For a princess who runs away and won't let me live with her in the castle?
Why should I risk my life, if a kiss on the cheek is the most I'm going to get?
Go and find someone else to save you princess

I don't care If I like you, or if the interest's deep
I refuse to be Mario chasing after Princess peach
I may think about you, and you may live in my mind
But I won't risk my life for a girl who won't give me her time

You really think because you're pretty and your hairs nice
I'm going to fight monsters and help to save your life
When you have no interest, I refuse to fall for your fake female charm
Even though I won't save you, I don't want you to be harmed

Forget doing all that running around for a female I won't walk with
Forget losing my mind for a female I can't share my thoughts with
Some princesses aren't worth the hassle so you need to let her go
Don't be like Mario

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 15, 2017 at 5:30 PM Awesome, I was hoping that was the Mario you were referring to ;) Well done 7 xomo Alex Duffy April 18, 2017 at 4:08 PM Yeah it had to be this Mario :) the only other Mario I know is an R&B singer lol, thank you :)

Joi Jones April 15, 2017 at 3:36 PM OMG!!! This poem is honestly so much better than I expected it to be. I mean it really is a great poem. My first thought when I saw the title was that there was a someone on Poetry Soup just messing around. Tbh I passed by your poem a couple of times and didn't think I would click on it. I'm glad I did though. It explains how Mario chases after the princess peach but why? She doesn't even like him and he chases after her and risks his life. Very simple but very deep poem. Keep up the good work!! Alex Duffy April 15, 2017 at 4:28 PM Thank you so much , I was just having a little fun with this, yeah it never made sense to me either, I understand liking a girl, but don't waste your life chasing someone who runs the other way lol. Thank you glad you liked it
