The Dark Horse doesn't scream for attention. They chip away slowly at life until finally they have built their castle. Whilst most of humanity has been lying on their ass talking shit, the Dark Horse has been creeping up from behind to win the race.
People respect Dark Horses, but only after-the-fact. Before they officially become a Dark Horse they are Nobodies, and NOBODY will notice them.
That is fine.
They are the the Dark Horse and don't do it for the immediate recognition. They look to the future but enjoy the journey - [wo]men for the moment who always maintain a keen eye on the finish line.
The Dark Horse is stupendously beautiful, but most people cannot see this straight away. You have to look twice, a third, a FOURTH time, and only then will you see something of tangible substance and value. Not only that, but the Dark Horses have long-term sustainability. Through living in the shadows they have acquired unseen but vital skills that make them utterly irresistible to us mere mortals. You can stare into their eyes every day for the REST OF YOUR LIFE and always see something new, unique and surprising.
The Dark Horse is the greatest living specimen, and will never be forgotten. They are the winners, and not just because of who they are, but what they did to earn it.
One more thing: you'll never see them coming, but that's okay with them.
They never saw you either.
