Insults are nothing new.
Being called out for bad behavior
Because I didn’t cower, didn’t contort,
Didn’t let myself get steamrolled
By a person who wields chaos like a knife.
Play nicely
Others don’t like conflict
Nod your head and smile
When let’s get aligned simply means
I’ll badger you relentlessly until you do what I say.
Insult after insult after insult.
The only way to win
Is to not play the game.
Ignoring the chum in the water.
Talking over the heckles.
Presenting a stone face during the chivying.
No.
I don’t agree.
Enjoy the uncomfortable silence.
This is me not playing the game.
This is me leaving the tangled path of never good enough.
