Like Toy Soldiers......
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
Hmmmmm...where to begin?...All my life I've been pushed aside, ignored, and left in the shadows. In life, in baseball, among other things. Anything I want is taken away from me, anything I need is denied of me. I'm left in the dark until whoever's got their foot stuck in it needs my help. Once they realize they can't do it for some reason they come running to me. Most of all in baseball. Our supposed "ace pitcher" gets his knickers in a twist and gets into a jam. Then our genius of a coach decides we're shit out of luck and decides to put me in. I knock em' out 1 2 3 and everyone loves me...for a time. As with everything in a few moments the fame dies, and I go back to being in the shadows. Fights for the right side, but it seems I'm the one paying...being everyone's bitch. The Mercenary....
