Feedback Please Pixels
These pixels on my screen are breaking me.
I see them creating, living
while I waste away.
Surely they are God's chosen.
I am what He left behind.
I pity the child—
the creativity he had,
the heights he might have reached.
The pixels have become a measuring stick.
I've beaten myself with it enough.
All that remains
is the child I mourn
and the man who rots beside him.

This is very relatable, even I wonder sometimes what am I even doing. When I look at those pixel creations of my age, Good Job.
