I am broken yes I am, broken today, not because I have not been used, but because I have been misused.
I have been cheated and mistreated, been taken away from my true believers... Now who would plead my course? Who would crave my flaws? Who would carry my cross?
Yet I am always available for the next draw, always available as the next straw, always available on the next floor...
Like a neat dough the strong steal me away from you, on my extincting pace from the cautious I slip away.
Even though I have been stepped upon and forgotten.
Even though I have been kept away from my patriots to rotten.
Even in the midst of my shunting, I know who I am, even in my personal vendetta I remember my name, I am Opportunity.
