Summer holidays
Looking at his science results and his academic report,
the trip to the luxurious resort
being cancelled, tears dripped of his chin
like a kid crying over a stolen muffin
Choking on his tears, as
he thought of what he had done in the past months
Summer holidays had started
Fun days are in sight
While his friend is trying hard
to complete work first
there he is sitting in front of a computer
clicking away, foolishly ignoring the advice given by his mother
Days flew past, swiftly and soundlessly
Like a mouse, sneaking away
While nobody is paying attention
He still did nothing
Other than to spend his precious days on
intense gaming
It was before long, that the end
of summer holidays were nearby
Sides were switched. His friend,
was enjoying while he finds himeself completely
like the lazy grasshopper,
stuck without food during winter.
He, who regretted greatly, for wasting time
on games, instead of revising Science
and doing his work.
He wished deeply, that he could undo everything back
to the start, but it was all too late
to call back a person entering the Heaven's gate.

2 years ago, I became addicted to a game a friend of mine introduced me to. I woke up during midnight and played it, and played non stop. I did not complete my homework properly, but i didnt care. Even when my mother found out and advised me not to play anymore, i did not care. In the end, I did badly for examinations instead of clinching the first position in class.
