Gamophobia

Benjamin Winter

When I was adolescent
I never used to fear it ending
But then I learnt my lesson
Now there's no more pretending.

Until then had I desired,
But by making the same mistake
A principle is required:
Of everybody, I must forsake.

I learnt my lesson again
Now I'm sure
I really must detain,
I wont go there anymore
