Don'T Hate the Player

Of when I play a game,
That most are prone to play,
We, players have the same,
Intent to win the day.

Sometimes the game is fun,
The rules are fair and just,
We win the game as one,
And feel a sense of trust.

But then we have those days,
The game will take it’s toll,
To filter through the haze,
That lurks within our soul.

Some quit upon the learn,
Of how the game is played,
But whom of us will earn,
Of those of us who stayed?

The time that I begin,
I try to see it through,
And find a way to win,
Whatever I can do.

To strive without a care,
And use whatever tools,
Though maybe not as fair,
But still within the rules.

Don’t like the things you see?
Go toss away your blame.
Don’t go on hating me,
For I just play the game.
