You would often say that

I’d take a hefty fall from grace

 

Struggle with the job at hand

And the challenges that

Life would present itself.

 

And yet slow and systematically

I’ve stayed a float

Resilient of the experiences

that life had shown me

 

In surmountable challenges

Have been mine to take

Some by chance and others I have sought out.

 

The thrill of the chase

The mastery of the situation

The mental challenge of manoeuvring around people’s ego

 

Defying the odds of success

Standing firm in my resolve to work through

Many a difficult circumstance

 

So you see the Joke is indeed on you!

For the battle that ensued inside of me

Fuelled by own self-doubt and influenced by your

Adept ability to undermine has been thwarted

Let’s keep the jokes coming

For the joke is indeed on you!
