You find yourself glorified
through keyboard strokes
and lingo jokes,
tip-tip-tapping your way
...
Give me patience, give me strength,
give me courage to forgive.
Help me find the Self inside
which causes me to love, to live.
...
Is it too much to wish that I were cherished?
I thought that once I was, that I was cared for,
but now I find those false beliefs have perished,
and so I wonder what my heart was spared for.
...
I marvel at how
my thin lungs
with their spongy tissue
can breathe in oxygen
...
Oh, Teddy Bear, if you could speak,
to say the things I long to hear,
and Teddy Bear, if you could cry,
to shed with me a lonely tear...
...
Look and you shall see
Seek and you shall find
Listen and you shall hear
the great thoughts of the Universal Mind.
...
We didn't talk,
we didn't smile,
we only sat there for a while,
but you saw me
...
May tomorrow bring sunshine,
where today brought you rain,
may happiness find you
and ease all your pain.
...
You sit in my heart
and you tear me apart
but I don't want you going away.
I'm beginning to find
...
Thanks for the memories,
the good and the bad,
that make me smile
or make me sad.
...
I saw a dog outside a bakery
-scraggly thing, ribs showing through-
just stood hungry, tired, in the doorway.
...
I get down on my knees and pray
my gratitude for another day.
I'll use it well and make it good,
adopting 'will' instead of 'would.'

For The Wow Widows Of The World (Of Warcraft)
You find yourself glorified
through keyboard strokes
and lingo jokes,
tip-tip-tapping your way
through Ulduar-
you're hurting me
and you know you are.
Skill points, honor points,
epic weapons, epic gear,
while I'm sitting right here,
silently shouting,
eyes pleading,
spirit needing.
I'm out of mana,
can cast no spell
to capture your attention,
create an intervention
for your addiction.
Where is a healer?
I seek benediction,
absolution, retribution...
any solution...
Your frost bolts fierce
penetrate and pierce,
and icy veins run cold,
I'm really not sold
on your excuses,
when they're followed
by careless abuses.
I am an afterthought,
caught
in your Blizzard's blizzard,
a frost nova rock,
and you in your ice block,
pitifully unaware,
giving priority to strangers
and fantastical dangers
because this is where you are
cool.
But you are a fool.
Those reputation points
don't count irl,
and NPGs will never
love you
like I can.
