close the cycle

i've played the fool for quite too long. i've been a nice fellow for quite some time, even though i recognize that it doesn't make it up for some not-that-good aspects of my personality. i've quietly held my ground more than many people would have been able to. but everything that has a beginning has an end. i guess that time has come for me to embrace the opportinities i'm given. you would not even consider me in the equation if you were in my position, would you? you merely wanted me around for so long out of sheer need - for as soon as you need me no more, i'll be useless. so be it. it's time for me to fend for myself. and it's about time for me to close the cycle you would have closed long ago, were you given any other option.
