Game Tokens
written by: Seia
I’m like playing inside an arcade
Beads of sweat trickling down my neck
Empty pockets and a couple of game tokens
I can lose you in a one simple misstep
Limited chances or I could get some more
Someone please stop me and take me home
For this time I am willing to bet it all
Just to be welcomed again in front of his heart’s door
Million conversations in my head
One stood out: “loving him is a dead end”
It turns out that I already lost the game
Yet this heart that loves truly will never be ashamed

As part of her writing process, she immerses herself in her projects—diving headfirst into planning such as drafting her thoughts into words, designing art suited for the poem, and fine-tuning of the poems she feels are the most worthy of sharing.
