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"
