Blue skies smiling at me. Blue skies are crying for me.
When I was a lil kid I wanted to fly like superman. Not to save people but to save myself. I wanted to fly away, and escape. Go far away from my life, from my family, from my problems. I never was able to fly. But often I would look out onto the blue skies and imagine myself flying through the clouds.
I always thought that if one day I could somehow fly I would go around fighting for the ones people forgot. Fight for the underdog. Help those in need like myself. But I never got any powers. So I ain't no superman. Never was, never would be.
And that was it for my dreams. I was never much of a dreamer anyway. I was taught that life was hard, it would always be hard no matter what I did. No matter how hard I tried, nothing would ever change. And nothing ever really did. Life just got hard and harder and hardest till I either learned to cope or broke. I never broke. But I will be honest, it was hard to cope sometimes.
And all that I wont get into. It does not have any bearing into who I am today, at least not really. So let me talk to Twilight. I want to tell you how awesome it has been to trade jabs with you. Win or lose I will consider this match one of the best ones I have ever had. And I will remember it always. But make no mistake my friend I want to win. I want to wear that world title again. I want to push you and especially push myself to the limit. Show that I am not a one hit wonder.
You are a great champion. But you are flawed. You think no one but you has an idea of what hell is? You speak of Jeville like only you know what its like to suffer through things. How many times have you lived a life only to throw it away on some foolish action. How many times have you been given a family and a good life only to lose it because in the end you don't know what its like to be happy. Join the club my friend. Every life you have had where things are going good you end up losing or casting it aside and end up in Jeville. It seems to me you don't want to be happy or content. Maybe, just maybe you are more at home being in Jeville and being miserable than you would care to admit? Or am I totally wrong?
See that is the thing. We are stuck in our very own version of the matrix. When things are good we do not know how to handle it and so we are only ever comfortable when things are bad. When are lives are bad and we are suffering in one way or another. I would guess that if we asked people to be honest they would agree with what I just said.
So you see Twilight I don't have to have lived a hundred lives to realize one thing. We are only happy when we are miserable. And that goes double for you. But speaking for myself, if I win, if I should win the world title on Titans. I will be happy for a while. I will cherish it in a way you and most others do not. I will try to stand tall, be respectful of the title and its place in our ranks. I will honor it and all those who have worn it before. And unlike you I will try to not repeat the mistakes of the past. And hope that is enough.
I am tired, and I want this week to be over. I wish it were Tuesday already.
That is all.
