it wasn't fair in that cul de sac,
because i was the only lefty,
and i always hit it in the trees.

no matter how hard i tried,
it always went the same way,
"stephen's up, move to the trees!"

that was years ago,
with people i don't even know now,
and who have gone a different direction in life.

i may be short-minded,
and i may be overly critical -
but atleast i know where i'm going to hit the ball.

atleast i know,
where i'm going in life.

away from wherever it is they're headed.
