Mental Games: Mental Hopscotch By Missing Persons

One of the games I was always curious about but never played was Hopscotch.  All I know about is that you're suppose to jump on certain numbers.  If you miss a step, you have to go back from the start.  Funny how life can be the same and how much it puts you to the test mentally.  I kinda got that thought while listening to the song "Mental Hopscotch" by Missing Persons.

When you set out with a plan in life, you think things would go smoothly.  You go through the motions and since everything is going as planned, you think you're home free.  Then you miss a step and all of a sudden, things fall apart.  Because of that, you wind up going back just like the game.  Still, unlike the game, it can sure take it's toll on you mentally to start all over again.

Life sure can play a lot of mental games on you.  Like a game of hopscotch, you have to be careful you make your moves.  There's a lot of pressure and you have really do a balancing act to land on the right spot. One mistake can take a toll on you mentally as well as emotionally.  It's a game you don't wan to play but you wind up playing nonetheless.  You just have to be careful where you throw and how you land.
