This is not a game

Hi everyone!! I haven’t been writing so much lately, but I wrote something! Finally! This is about something that happened recently, and I think I did a decent job of putting it together. Anyways, here we are! Enjoy!


This is lonely, and I am lonely, and this is no one else’s burden to bear but mine. I will close myself off and keep the poison from spreading, wrap a belt around my collarbone and keep the darkness to myself. But this is not a game. You grew up happier than me, safer than me. You still trust the world not to bite you, and who the hell am I to tell you it’s eaten me up in my sleep? But this is not a game. We are not in the same boat, we do not drown the same. When the world makes us angry, you will fight while I will cower. I will fall apart and wring out the ugly parts of myself, the unacceptable parts, the parts I’ve learnt to hate. This is not a game. We don’t laugh, here. It is too dark to light up with happiness. I love you, I love you, but this is not a game. This is not a game.

This has never been a game.
