Letras
A tiny screen wakes with an eightbit glow
A small town morning in the hush before I go
A quiet desk of notes and lifted lids
One small choice and a ball that weighs like a promise
I step past the fence where the world turns wide
A green bud in my pocket and fire at my side
Tall grass shivers like it knows my name
My thumb hovers over Save and my heartbeat plays the game
I hold my breath when the first click lands
Cold metal circle warming in my hands
If it breaks free I rewind my nerve
I save again and tell myself I will learn to swerve
Badges are stars I chase on a paper map
Each step a pulse as the bassline claps
I hear the menu blip like a starting gun
And I walk like I am still becoming someone
Kanto draws itself behind my eyes
In pixels and wind and unspoken skies
Soft footsteps echo down the road
Between a screen change pause and the weight I hold
A bicycle hums through evening air
A Pokédex breath counts what is there
Not just the monsters but the me I find
Each route turns forward and rewrites my mind
Through the first gate the green feels new
A rock town hard like stone under my shoe
A water city smells like summer skin
A harbor town whistles metal where ships roll in
A tower town is quiet like a held back tear
A neon garden city blinds till my vision clears
A marshy town is damp where the shadows stick
An island furnace burns and makes my courage quick
My bag is full so every choice hurts
I toss the wrong thing then search the dirt
I loop the same map till the night feels thin
And swear I saw a doorway that was never in
Graph paper lists in blocky lines
A dog eared guide in borrowed time
Rumors traded low at after school
A link cable waiting like a secret rule
I keep my TMs like sealed up gold
Afraid to spend them till I am old
Flash is a fear in a cave of gray
