Child's Sweet Savior

For those who grow hopelessly dead,

Their hearts black with mournful lead,

I seek and stare,

My watchful glare,

I lead them away so they may fare.

My voice slick and drippingly sweet,

"Come follow us to an endless treat."

Their quizzical gazes,

My eyes like mazes.

Flashing and flickers before their eyes fuse,

"Come stay and play" the innocent squeaks muse,

Bright-eyed and wild-hearted,

Their many tails' wagging started.

Squeals of joy and endless laughter,

From the children who creatures chase after.

Tumbling...rolling,

With their friends they start strolling.

A never dying friendship, that's all children want.

With every hour, their faces growing gaunt.

But with games such as these,

No one ever leaves.

Cast away,

With friends who forever play.

Yet the truth is not whole,

For I hold their souls.

And we shall never die....til our internal batteries run dry.

When you think of a lifeline from your childhood, what do you think about? A toy that brought you peace in painful times? A song whose lyrics soothed a nightmare plagued mind? Mine was and will always be games. Pokemon games.

The seemingly innocent game where creatures run around as little pixels, answering to their trainer's every command, but in reality, a horrorland for creeps and the mentally unstable who enjoy corrupting the minds and emotions of little children, sucking into the nightmares of cheats and easter eggs made to leave them broken and utterly fearful of the night and their dreams. Even after one glitch, a seemingly normal game will suck someone deeper into Pokemon, the dark truth only revealed to those who are willing to pay the price of losing their sanity.
