I am more than just a gamer.
I am a commander,
I have led hundreds of armies and taken down thousands more,
My enemies fall by a push of a button
And I’ve caused cities to fall by a flick of a stick
And build many empires by a wave of my hand
I am a protector
When the masses call, I answer
I’ve withstood many shots and many swords
I am the wall that protects all within
And I fend many intruders with my bare fists
I am a creator
I build the impossible
Buildings that would last for centuries
Walls that never break
And engrave history into stone
Yes I am a gamer, but don’t you dare underestimate me,
For with a controller in my hand, I can bend the world to my will.
