You Need To Get Into Your Own Game Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Beautiful detached sister
Who's beautiful now she's been whitewashed
A beauty that couldn't stand up to cold, hard reason
I feel I've been cheated my whole life

So you don't feel cheated too
I want you to get into your own game
Make a wrong decision and feel good about it
A marker on the board that establishes you are in play

Beautiful detached sister
I will not address her directly
As translucent and shimmering from far off, there was a girl who came across as a commercial for a show we all wanted to see
As inconsequential and minor close up, there was no form to carry around complexity

I will address her directly
She fades away and she slept with her boss
There was nothing to show for either
There was no place for her unless she elbows her way in
