So....?

I guess that's it.
that was quick.
all the doubts I had....
all the unsureness I had put away....
it was validated....
that quickly.
just as the star pitcher starts growing tired from wear,
and knows the rotation behind him is ready to step up,
and the manager wants to win....
someone else in the rotation takes the lead spot for the star pitcher....
while the star pitcher leads a journey into obscurity, and eventual free agency....
because we all know....
every manager keeps a team stocked....
and the manager wants to win....

but it's not so bad.
free agency is the change the pitcher needed....
new team, fresh start....
a blessing in disguise, if you believe.
because sometimes a wake up call is needed
to get you back on track.

I can't be mad at the team,
or the manager.
some players deserve it more than me.
the manager needs better results.
and I wasn't producing.
rather than giving a verbal tongue lashing or being mad...
or begging to rejoin the team......
I just look and laugh.
because the situation works for both the pitcher and the manager.
free time from the game is what I've needed....
I had it before I joined the team,
and now I'll have it afterwards.
because when a player leaves a team,
another team is always there to welcome a new addition....
that is, if I don't stay in free agency.

hopefully, the manager gets the production from their new pitcher....
hopefully he won't meet the same fate as his predecessor....
and hopefully, he'll be the team's new MVP and lead em to a championship.

but right now,
this pitcher is icing the shoulder,
resting the quads,
and enjoying a break that was unforeseen.
sooner or later, though.....
I'll talk to my agent....
and see if I can find a new team...
and hopefully,
I'll be another manager's star.

[I hope you get the analogy I was trying to get across.]
