You know who I am. You've met people like me your entire life. We're in the ones in the crowd, at the parties, among the masses. We're the people that sit, but don't speak; watch, but never act; state, but never question. We have that faraway look, the one where nothing around us matters, and our minds are light years away from anything else, and then just like birds suddenly where there, focused on something that was just said. We've always been there, a presence more than a voice, and yet when we do act, we leave a lasting impression that does not tend to erode with the passing of time.
No one wants to know what happens in our lives, we may be interesting, but the only way any one finds out is by asking, we rarely offer information freely, unless we think it can push a conversation in an interesting direction. Our lives are no different than yours, for we suffer from the same problems, and life events that you do, but what is different is the way we see the world during the problems. Our faraway stares are more than just deep thought; they're a powerful connection to something else, something none of us can put into words. It's a connection of ideas, which cannot be translated into verbal definition, so for the sake of time, and space, I will not attempt too. This connection does not make us better than anyone else, nor does it make us smarter. Instead, we find ourselves more aware of the passage of time, the looks and thoughts of other people, body language, interactions, and the effects they could cause.
Some of us though, have gone deeper than that, and now we're capable of things beyond what you might imagine an ordinary human is. Curious yet? I hope so, if you're not, then I apologize, maybe this isn't your flavor of literature. What comes next though may change your opinion one way or the other.
All of these things I have described are true about me and others like me, but remember I said "You know who I am." That was a half truth, for in reality, you don't know who I am, because I haven't told you yet. I've tried to write this text at least a hundred times before, on paper, and in my head, and I imagine there is a possibility I could write it a hundred more times. It's tough to keep going, once you have a lot down, and if you can't get the right start you're doomed before you can get into the main section. If you need to know one thing right away, one thing about me that defines everything else, then know this. My name is Keith, and I'm a Power Ranger.
