Far from a box of chocolates,
Life resembles a Jenga tower
Of carefully crafted experiences
Designed by a revolving door of opponents
Sliding, pecking, shimmying, tugging,
Some presenting challenging moves,
Others merely provoking in nature,
Before that inevitable destabilising affair
That leaves you questioning your
Beliefs, your steadfast loyalty, your
Basic instincts; and yet, there’s an
Equal chance you’ll find your centre of
Gravity to tower to your mightiest.
