If this life were a soap opera, I probably wouldn't be playing one of the starring roles. I don't know why, but one thing's for sure:
Being on the spotlight isn't always grand. There are blind fanatics who expect constant miracles from you. There are those who expect you to start making mistakes, slip, and fall. That's just life. You can't please everybody. There's a lot at stake once you're on top of your game.
Let's just say that I'm pretty much okay with where I am now. Under the radar and in the shadows...

I woke up this morning,
an urban zombie half awake.
I had no idea what I was thinking.
I only feared showing up late.
My fragmented thoughts
scattered and regrouped
like magnetic marbles on the floor,
as I headed toward that door.
What did I see?
Oops, I made a mistake!
I showed up way too early.
Now I'm rewarded with this long break.
Heh.
What a strange way
just to start today.
What else can I say?
Maybe I'm a workaholic.
A lot can make me fretful and tick.
With caffeine-fuelled energy,
I haven't been sleeping well lately.
Now I'm going to relax a bit
before the real hours of my shift...
