I played this game for years
a game I could not win
no matter how long I played
no matter how much work
I put in no matter how much
I prayed no matter how much
I believed that one day
I would win I knew how
the game was played
I knew the rules to the game
I even knew how to cheat
to win but I kept on losing
until one day while playing
I decided to throw in my hand
get up out my seat walk
away from the table and never
play the game again
I became an observer
watching the expressions
on the faces of others who
couldn't seem to get it
couldn't seem to catch on
long enough to grasp
hold to the fact that
we not the right shape
to fit in their winners circle
"we don't learn to play the game
from those who always win
we learn how the game is played from
those who often lose"
