Does anyone know how to start a new game?
Or at least how to load up a previous save?
Made some bad choices
That’s got me running in circles
Jumping hurdles
That I thought I cleared yesterday
I'm not strong enough
To fight my way through
And not dexterous enough
To dodge all my issues
Don't have the smarts or the charm
To speak without fumbling
I'm stumbling
My words are as tangled as my blundering feet
So every day now is just rinse and repeat
Got me feeling something quite like an NPC
But I’m doing my best
To break the routine
And if I can’t adventure
I could be a quest giver
That would be something at least
Yellow punctuation carefully inked
Signifies our stories might be intrinsically linked
Yes there’s still a pattern
And the dialogue loops
And it’s level gated
And there’s plenty of hoops
But it could be worse
It can always be worse
Is it fate or our complacency
That’s got us chasing tales
Living through others
Comparison smothers
Maybe tomorrow
I'll start writing my own

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
