Play

When we're children, there are so many games that we play with other people our own age. Whether it be physical or imaginary, there are multiple variations on the same theme.

Some children grow up to be adults, while others remain grown children.

They continue to play variations of the same game. The rules change slightly, and the players are being played.

They play with your heart, and they play with your mind. But, they never play with themselves.

Not as stimulating, I guess...

They find thrills in manipulating the lives of others, while believing no one will get hurt. It's all a game? It's fun! It's exciting! No one can get hurt playing a game.

Unfortunately, they don't realize they're the only ones playing.

I don't like playing games. So, don't play games with me.

We are not children, and I am not a toy.
