Just call me “Mr. Obvious” with this one…. but it leads into another post, seemed to fit and well :: pauses :: you’ll take it and like it!
There are things that are just part of who we are as individuals. Everything from the accents that we have to style of music that we like. But there are also traits and things that just about everyone carries are the same no matter who you are…. think bruising, the desire to shave, we yawn when other people yawn (don’t you dare yawn….or else! haha).
There are some traits however, that you have that you think everyone has…but they don’t. Those are the ones that really make you who you are. It’s just sometimes they are just the hardest ones to find.
I realized this phenomenon for the first time when I after I was at least 10 years old. Although this doesn’t really define me as a person, it is something that really surprised me to find out. See I have a ringing in my ears all the time. But it took me over 10 years to realize that that the rest of the world doesn’t have a ringing in their ears 24/7. So I just never knew…
Well I dream of changing the world for the better… and I think I’m starting to realize that not everyone really cares to do so? Am I wrong here? I sure hope I am. Damn it!
The One Sure Bet
The countdown’s on
For the one sure bet
That Ace in my pocket
The one that you dreamt
The one that will pierce
Through the armors of kings
The one that will steal your diamonds and rings
It’ll leave you raw
No matter the cost
No matter the caste
Or the dirt on your soul
As we lay them all out
The eyebrows they raise doubt
Just like the size
of my stack seen on the floor
One day we’ll get two seven
And pay it all right back
This kid can only hope
His luck don’t change again
Will Chapin sing “The Cradle”
As we stand up from the table?
Will we just break even?
Or will I leave a mark?
