I enter a bar,

Like time travel I go far.

Pac-Man goes too fast.

    Omggg, how dare they call you slow?! I'm so sorry that happened! But maybe you can start playing Pac Man again. Or any other games that require thinking. That's how I dealt with my depression in 2021

    Great poem. It’s funny how certain things can take you back to another time. I’m sorry someone called you slow - that’s not cool. I don’t think people think before they speak.

    This makes perfect sense.

    Some people say things without realizing how they affect others. Take care of yourself, Susan. Do whatever needs to be done to give yourself enough love and recharge, playing Pac-Man or else.
