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.

Experience will be, it's a simple as that. What do you want to be, then follow your path. It's the intelligence, that makes one look around. In your peripheral see, the intelligent find ground. <*> Play the intelligent game of life, normally such players win.
