The Misunderstood

oops

A boy sits, eyes glued
To the monitor before him
Besides him lies uneaten food
Behind him his parents, their patience thin.
The boy pleads his oft-repeated plea
“Just another half-hour, please?”
But his parents know not his bid to be free
Their son’s “addiction” is all they see.
The boy returns to his room
And forces himself to sleep
But in his dreams, he raids tombs
Joins a never-ending war, or explores the deeps.
The boy arises in the morning
Finding himself refreshed but not rested
Knowing his teammates for him are mourning,
Knowing his avatar’s skills lie untested.
The boy plods through school
And cant wait to get home
Where he doesn’t always have to play the fool;
Where he hunts with friends, in reality unknown.
The boy hopes for a free weekend
But finds it full of pre-planned events
It seems this week won’t break the trend;
It’s a Pandora’s Box, and he mislikes the contents.
The boy sighs and continues to live on,
Pretends to want to be at the feast
Pretending – for what he dreams of most
Is what he receives the least.

Hey Vincent, it's been awhile my friend. A brialliantly penned piece of poetry. A talented and gifted poet who has the amazing ability to produce a flawless write time and time again.
The boy sighs and continues to live on,
Pretends to want to be at the feast
Pretending – for what he dreams of most
Is what he receives the least.
Keep on dreaming on sweet guy. One of your dreams is bound to come true...
*hugs*
