You would often say that<\/p>\n
I\u2019d take a hefty fall from grace<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Struggle with the job at hand<\/p>\n
And the challenges that<\/p>\n
Life would present itself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And yet slow and systematically<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve stayed a float<\/p>\n
Resilient of the experiences<\/p>\n
that life had shown me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In surmountable challenges<\/p>\n
Have been mine to take<\/p>\n
Some by chance and others I have sought out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The thrill of the chase<\/p>\n
The mastery of the situation<\/p>\n
The mental challenge of manoeuvring around people\u2019s ego<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Defying the odds of success<\/p>\n
Standing firm in my resolve to work through<\/p>\n
Many a difficult circumstance<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So you see the Joke is indeed on you!<\/p>\n
For the battle that ensued inside of me<\/p>\n
Fuelled by own self-doubt and influenced by your<\/p>\n
Adept ability to undermine has been thwarted<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s keep the jokes coming<\/p>\n
For the joke is indeed on you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
