Who am I?
Can I really be defined by words?
Am I great? I hope so.
Am I ambitious? I believe so.
I am ordinary, that very much is true
Not all that special or out of the blue
If the world is strange,
Then be stranger.
If the world is hard,
Be harder.
The crowds will jeer,
The eyes will linger.
You will hold out your hands to them,
And you will smile.
Time and time again,
These porcelain pieces prowl across the board,
Strategizing,
Circumventing.
And once one has gained the advantage,
Should the other not accept it's fate?
