Metaphoric Experience
There's this game I've been
playing
And it's taught me stuff
I've not had it long
But I've played enough to know
If I don’t turn back now
It's going to be rough
I'm looking for some luck cos' I
feel real stuck
The first few levels
Were easy to complete
They make the deep end look
like a couple of feet
But as the game progressed
It picked up the heat
Now the Mother-****ing
shallow end looks deep.
The Story-Line was mind
blowing at the start
Slowly I climbed up , Part by
Part
Progressing, Tired, Game saved
in the book
The All nighters took -
Great...now I'm hooked
When I'm playing, I feel
Skillfully Brilliant
Like a militant, untouchable,
full of resilience
I got the skills to pay the bills
All my debts considered repaid
Until what goes up must come
down
One by One people Fade
If you understand the
metaphoric game that I played
Then you understand the steps
I had to take
After two years feeling high I
finally found
This isn't life it's time to come
down.
