Rules of the Game

Sometimes, being polite isn't enough.
Being kind isn't enough.
Being quiet isn't enough.
Being yourself isn't enough.
Being best isn't enough.
Sometimes it isn't you that's the problem.
But that matters little
on someone else's board.
So do yourself a favor,
get the fuck off,
and stop entertaining their game.
