Risk....

There are no guarantees

Life throws things at you

You can catch or miss them

But they will come, ready or not

I always looked for the real thing

Never trusting in the possibility

Risk-taking not my forte

Staying safe at all costs

Even playing it safe is not certain

Safe has hurt me

Zero risk gets zero gain

Sometimes playing it safe costs you more

It has me,

In not fighting the battle

you may lose the war

In not believing in a dream

You may never sleep peacefully again

So let go of the fear

Reach out for the flame

So what if you get burned

Better that then numb for life

Better to remember passion and joy

Along with the pain and tears

Then to have no memories worth

Remembering

So to hell with safe

I am going to gamble and bet

Until I win back everything I lost

And my life is what it was meant to be
