Chocolate Cakes

 

In separate rooms,
small and square,

Young, Miss Jane,

And Old Man Joe,

Were making their
cakes,

Warm, chocolate
cakes.

 

Both Young Jane, and
Old Man Joe,

Garnished their
cakes,

With a snow white
sheet,

And left the rooms.

 

In the white, ceramic
bowls,

The cakes lie
untouched.

Moist, and heavenly
to the nose

Of the flies flying around.

 

And thus,

We see a dead crow,

In the drain,

Near the post office.

 

We see another old
man,

Barely able to
breathe,

And a baby,

Gasping for air.

 

All because of Jane
and Joe,

Who didn’t bother to
clean.

Jack of all trades, Master of none..

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

     Yea.. that saying pretty much describes what me.. Jack of all trades, Master at none. I guess if a Final Fantasy character were to be made after me, it’ll most probably be a Red Mage..
     It’s just simply frustrating being a jack of all trades. Just hate it that there’ll always be so many that’s better than me in all aspects.
     Often i wonder to myself.. Why can’t I be the Ace in a single aspect?
Why are there always people better than me even if I have tried so hard?
     Yea.. Been haunting me all my life.. No matter in what aspect that i try to excel in, there’ll always be someone else ahead of me. Always, there’ll be a genius in front of me.. and no matter how much i try to chase these people, in the end, i couldn’t even see their backs.. And when i have fallen in the chase, these geniuses did not even break a sweat..
     How am I ever going to reach in their ranks? How am I going to catch up to these geniuses? How am I ever to be the best in any aspect?
     Honestly, I’m so tired of chasing some people, whose backs i couldn’t see.. So tired of trying so hard to no avail.. So tired that I’ve already given up hopes of excelling in certain aspects.
     The only thing i can do is just try my best to improve myself in ways that I’ll be able to support and compliment others’ abilities.
     I’ll forever be the sidekick, the lab assistant, back-up singer, Samwise Gamgee kind of person.. Never ever able to take the lead, only able to follow.. Never the main character of a story, only the supporting character.. never the Coffee, only the creamer.. never the torch light, only the battery…

     Will anyone ask "hey, who’s the supporting character in the story?" Will they say "Mmm that coffee’s so nice.. what creamer did you use?" Or will they ask, "wow, the torch light’s so bright.. what battery are you using?" As in… who gives a damn about people like me?

     In a world that requires specialization, what use is a Jack of all trades, yet master of none? I will never be in the lead.. I will never be able show my face proudly.. I will never be the one standing the tallest in a crowd.. But I’ll be the one below the tallest one in the crowd.. carrying him on my shoulders… And I’ll just  have to be satisfied with that…
