Origin

by Saige Chandler, ’24

The origin of things they ask?

 

“Hm…”

 

Well mine is from a sky generated by another.

Animations, designs, and a world of color.

 

My father introduced me and played over and over.

Until he was abruptly met with a “Game Over”.

 

“MOMMY! MOMMY! DADDY’S ON THE GROUND!”

After that all I remember is the eerie flat sound.

With it followed a cry that was heard abound.

 

My memory of him now fades more and more,

But back then his acts to me were such a terrible bore.

 

They all say that “he was a good man”,

Yet I couldn’t witness this first hand.

 

“I’m a gamer and a photographer with a mass of pride.

I swear dad’s death won’t be a path I’d stride too.”

 

“So my origin is what you wanted to know?

Animation, designs, and desires not to forgo.”
