I give people chances.
Some they deserve, some they definitely don't.
I want so very much to see the good in people.
I have to hold on to this hope that if you give people a chance,
They will rise up and meet your expectations.

With those expectations also comes disappointment.
The two go hand in hand in these situations,
But no matter how hurt I get from them,
I still hold on to this intense need.
This ardent hope, that somebody will surprise me
And show that humanity isn't lost.

There are good people in the world,
And there are also people who have goodness buried inside them.
All it takes is the right person to elicit the good from its hiding place.
What I have to accept is that most of the time I'm not that person.
I cannot change those of whom are not ready to change,
And not everyone who is lost, want to be found.

I live in the birth of Nintendo vs Sony vs Sega
Trying to beat that high score in the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat
Combat with a K
That innovative ****
I survived the destruction of Sega Dreamcast
As they became third party
And Microsoft took their place with Xbox and Ninja Gaiden
Alive from that old arcade
I live in the awing of the interactive Wii
And internet friendly Playstation 3
I also live in the original Mario Bros and Pac Man and...
Terminator vs. Robo-Cop
Yea
I bet you don't remember that one
Or Galaga or Excitebike
Or even that good old
Asteroid, space dodging, alien blasting
Spacce Invaders!
Yea, I'm from Nintendoland
No... Segaworld
Nah... Sony City
Nu uhn... Microsoft...
Can't even think of a place for that
I am from that video gamer nation
That fight, hack, slash, race, create, explore, role-play
Even play those insane sports
See I'm from that...
See, I am from that...
I am from that
Video gamer heaven descended
That has that powerful curiosity and love for that
Space Invaders!
No
That love for all video games
And that memory of the ****** game graveyard
Where E.T. now resides...
See, I'm part of the new gen
Trying to play Street Fighter 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Star Ocean
Saying "I go harder than you young bloods cause I played
Space Invaders!"
So, what era am I from?
I'm from the era of all gamers
Playing Space Invaders
Space Invaders!
I'm from the
"Game of the Year goes to..."
Mario, Tekken, Metal Slug
Namco, Sega, Bandai, Konami
All those companies that started as something else
But realized their calling was for our nation
Cause you see
I'm from that
Old school Nintendo
New School Wii
Old school Playstation
New school PS3
Old school Sega
New school Microsoft 360
I'm from a legacy that always succeeds in giving us dreams
That always seem to revert back to that
Old school
Asteroid, space dodging, alien blasting
Space Invaders!!!!!

so funny how I
thought today was
going so well
two shadows dancing
inside a ring of
fire with no
water to
put it out…

wrong.

again.

words mean more than
ink and paper
dear and when you
think about me
perhaps you
should

hide them well or
choose more
wisely…

i am no one’s
“accident”
