    When The Pawn...
    By Fiona Apple
    see related
    Growing up I have always been this lonely kid.  Not at all bright but I have always been different
    I never watched tv (and I still don't) and music and books were my only friends (and they still are)
    I had spikey short when everyone was trying to be the girly girl

    I do not try to be different at all.  That is just the way I am and I can't even find a half-decent explanation as to why I always act a little eccentric
    I read poems simply because I want to read poems, rather than trying to act cool
    I dispise love songs because they are stupid
    I am incurably headstrong and I never back down for what I think is wrong
    Not that I do not pay a price for being who I am
    I suffer, a lot
    I have this constant insecurity of not having someone who understands
    Like I am the only lonely ranger in the territory of my world
    I get myself mentally black-and-blue when I am shadowboxing with no one but myself
    I question myself a lot and deep down there is an undying flicker of melancholy
    I get into disputes, arguments and broken relationships with people who once I called friends


    Tonight I cried reading this poem by Fiona Apple
    I have read it for God-know how many times
    But I am still touched by it, even though it's just a crude piece of work

    When the pawn hits the conflicts
    He thinks like a king
    What he knows throws the blows
    When he goes to the fight
    And he'll win the whole thing
    Before he enters the ring
    There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
    So when you go solo
    You hold your own hand
    And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
    And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
    And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right


    I guess after all, it is really just me against this big bad world
    And I am not ready to make nice
