My Game, My Way

Location

What do I want do when I grow up?
A question most of us have heard.
A question that seems simple on the ouside,
But on the inside,
It has a much bigger meaning.

"I wanna be a doctor!"
"I wanna be a firefighter!"
I wanna...
I wanna...
What do I want to do?

I don't know what want to do.
I have no skills that set me apart from the rest.
I don't do things that makes me a individual.

"Get off yor lazy butt and do something for once!"
"All you ever do is play your stupid games!"
"Why dont you stop being such a loser?!"

This is a constant for me.
But it doesn't mean anything to me.
I am far away from those voices.
I am in a whole differet world.
A world of fantasy and mystery.
I cannot be touched here.

But no matter what, I always have to step out of this world that I am in,
Go back into that cold, crual reality.

What do I want to do?
Wha do I want to be?

And then it hits me.
I know what I want to be!

I want to be a creator of worlds.
I want to mold the land that I was just in, but in my own image.
Be the God of my own land.

I want a mighty dragon fighting a brave warrior in one world,
and a squadron of elite troops in another.
I want a prince to find his princess.
A villian to be thwarted by the hero.

What do I want to do when I grow up?
I want to help kids just like me.
Kids that go to different worlds to escape from their own harsh reality.

What do want to do when I grow up?
I want to create those worlds.
I want,
To make games!
