playing Fields Off Level
Taking the high ground,
Stand at the advantage.
Years of experience perceived,
Tilts the board in favor.
Overwhelming head spinning,
Earth unstable where feet are treading,
The virtue held fast to turn the tables,
And end up winning.
These fields weren't graded,
To simply skate down hill.
Reluctant to survive,
Such a simple climb,
Without strategy it's back to the beginning.
Always looking up at the level,
Finding harder to obtain,
When constant in choosing the low vantage,
Lacking choice of the high ground that could have been made.
