Are You In Control?

“Why does comfort elude my life’s embrace?

It’s as though I’m a living embodiment of Murphy’s law,

For if things can go awry, then go they shall.

And just when I begin to savor a fleeting comfort,

A fresh challenge emerges, uninvited, as if on cue.

I do relish challenges, they quicken my pulse,

Yet sometimes, I’ve mused, what’s it like to sail serene?

Deep within, my heart whispers a fondness for the thrill,

The unpredictable dance, the curveballs in my path,

They invigorate my mind and breathe life into my days.

And then, as fate would have it, I chanced upon these words today,

“If everything is under control, you are going too slow.”

A clarion call, it beckons me to push beyond limits,

To embrace the unknown, and to seek the sublime rush of life anew.
