Worth it

Here's a silly little poem I wrote.

Worth it

So it begins yet again

You and me

In front of the screen

Ready to marathon another series

You give up half way through

Tired and groggy, you fall asleep

And I, well I,

How could I?

I stay and continue

What started at 7 years old

I found in it something more

Than just entertainment

For the little old me

Something to obsess over completely.

This, my obsession

How could I stop?

My escape from lonely reality

My reason to question

To imagine a fantasy

My very own world

My intangible possession.

Dragon Ball, Cardcaptor Sakura, Digimon repeated

Every time I looked for an easier way in magic

Hard work will be required any way I see it.

Fullmetal Alchemist taught me

To push farther and farther

But be prepared for the consequences

And rather

Than hitting randomly

Stop and learn and learn more

And be sure

When you take up a task

You know you’re good enough for it

You know you can do it.

Then came along the beautiful years

Code Geass at 15 and at 17

Death Note and Attack on Titan at 19

Every hero and every villain at the end of the day

Is a normal person

Who could have been anybody

So ask you self again and again

No matter what path you take

Are you prepared for the losses that accompany

Each and every step of your journey

And ask

Is it worth what you want

And if it is then do it

Push through

And if you can’t anymore

Keep going anyway

Because it will be worth it.

And so I continue

This new

Series of wonder and awe

And never surrender

For this is it

Because Anime is

Worth it.
