DISCLAIMER: I found the following poem in a file on a computer in my digital photography class. It was not written by me and has not been edited in any way. It is terrible. Enjoy. Did you think calling me a nerd would offend me? BAAAAAAAAAM! Frag out. You’re dead. You think you can play? (hah) You couldn’t work a sniper to save your… past, life. Sure we’re both jocks, but you can’t compete in my game. You play football and I play UT, so suck it you lamer. Oh, I’m sorry you couldn’t understand that, “Brad”, maybe ill type slower after killing you next time. I hate it when people call me a nerd thinking I’m some 5’4’’ kid with glasses that couldn’t get laid if his breath smelled like chloroform. I’m 6 foot everything bitch, I’ll take you on the court, and in NBA Live 2008. Yeah I’m proud to be a nerd, a geek, a dork. But don’t fit me to the mold the carbon copy. Sure I’ll watch speed runs till three in the morning, Appreciating true skill, and I’ve talked football and eat chili on Sunday’s, Appreciating true skill I just prefer to spend my time playing videogames and using my computer, Than being drunk and throwing up on myself. I’m proud to be a gamer, a so called winning “loser”. Cause as much as you beat up some of us, we’re passing our classes, And while you work your bicep we work our brains, our mind games. Cause even you can button mash, but we can make you think what we want, And that’s power. So work those biceps, I’m sure that will help you carry my groceries. I’m hip, slick, gamer, glamour, Shiek; switching to Zelda, a meld a’ characters and memories and enemies I’ve vanquished. I am the story, the Vagrant Story, of Heros, of Might and Magic, never once making Fable of my deeds, I Command and Conquer the world, the Super Mario World. There have been times though, times at low health, with no more extra lives. Stuck in the same loop of good beats bad with oversized sword, Or saving the same dumb chick over and over again, Or realizing that maybe we don’t need to kill every last one of the guards, When I think, why the hell am I wasting my life? This happens to every gamer, every nerd, in fact I’d argue anyone who has ever played more than one videogame, Has asked this of themselves. It’s a question a basketball player may ask himself when he realizes he’s Been throwing an orange ball in a hoop his whole life, Or a Football player really thinking about how he’s carrying an odd shaped ball into a heavily guarded 160x10 piece of grass. So I guess we’re not that different. Because I know for a fact, every professional and every hobbyist Snaps out of it like a football and like Sonic fresh from a spring Saying a game isn’t important is telling me that my life wasn’t shaped around my childhood, cause I know Sigmund Freud thinks so. The games I played as a kid shaped me, molded me, changed me into what I am now, A gamer, an appreciate of art. Yes games are art, cause as much as congress wants to ban all violent videogames, They don’t say shit about a violent movie, or a violent policy. None of them have even played Grand Theft Auto, They don’t get it! Until you’ve hit a turn going seventy while shooting it out with the gansta’s that are trying to gun you down for getting you’re life back and then hit a guard rail and get set flying into a river, I don’t want you to give your opinion about it. It’s like modern art. If you don’t know what it is, you think is just colors thrown on a canvas, When you could be looking at a Hendrik Smit, a modern artist. And when you say games don’t move you I say I’ve cried during three movies in my life time, and I’ve cried during at least ten games. A videogame isn’t just a minded less sequence of buttons. Haven’t you ever played Final Fantasy haven’t you ever dreamed. Well I have, cause I’m human. So when people ask me if I’m a nerd I say yeah, and I expect the same result you’d give to anyone wasting their life doing something “trivial” Like sports, or creating, or living or loving or breathing or dying.

/pours some out for my homies
So close and yet so far.
Answer me this.
Why gamers are the most inteligent people, used by many in their projects. And not the writers.
Because intelligent doesn't necessarily mean artistically talented. That's why.
I don't think this person wrote this to win an award or anything, I think he's just frustrated with being picked on because of his hobby. He sounds like he's pretty passionate about games which I wouldn't necessarily count as a mark against him.

YOU CAN LIKE FOOTBALL AND VIDEO GAMES AT THE SAME TIME IT IS OKAY.
*puts forehead into palm, sighs loudly*
You're in a digital photography class?
YOU CAN LIKE FOOTBALL AND VIDEO GAMES AT THE SAME TIME IT IS OKAY."
Yes, yes it is ok. I get laid sometimes, too.
Through lines such as "But don’t fit me to the mold the carbon copy," the poet is clearly yearning to break free of this socially-imposed dichotomy of "nerds" and "jocks." He seeks to reconcile his pursuits in both video game proficiency and athletic prowess in order to establish a more rounded persona for the modern man.
OK, I can't take any more of this...fuck this guy.
... terrible ...
at least he doesn't talk about wanting to cut himself...
Watch my channel for it, it is uploaded and will pop up in a few minutes

This is just plain horrible. I couldn't get halfway through. It seriously killed what little creative drive I have left.
