I Am

I am seriously dedicated

I wonder if I'll ever make it

I hear my future calling

I see my fate

I want to be a pro gamer

I am seriously dedicated

I pretend I'm Pro everyday

I feel I'll thrive in my future

I touch the future I hope for

I worry that I'll never make it

I cry when people push me down

I am seriously dedicated

I understand it's hard to get there

I say I'll never give up

I dream that one day, I'll get there

I try everyday to get better

I hope one day, I'll be at the top

I am seriously dedicated

A summer's night found me sleeping soundly

Amongst the dreams of men, swiftly undone

They recount their sad tales once more loudly

The spirits did weep at the tales they spun

Morning saw the mourning be gone again

The sorrows they spoke of gone with the light

And the light made the meaning once more plain

The shadows were not an evil to fight

They were but my regrets, reminding me

To keep remembered all my past mistakes

Lest I, a fool, return to my folly

And all the same hearts return to their aches

These hauntings keep me well weary in bed

I fear they signal my losing my head

Pencil and paper I hold in my hand

I think of ideas that I draw or write

If written well, these stories will be grand

I just don't know if I have started right

Monsters and men, heroes and villains, too

These are the things that I make in my head

It's the kind of thing that I like to do

Creating my own art with sticks of lead

I have a lot of ideas in my mind

Supernatural beasts and science fiction

With drawing skills and writing skills combined

Creativity is my addiction

Making up stories is my career choice

It's my way of speaking aside from voice
