RISK

frightened by the thought of it
anxious yet yearning for it
curious but can't carry regrets
both excited and afraid to be reckless

bewildered 'bout how it'll turn out
for good and bad consequences it may brought out
this "now or never", "all or nothing" game
often quoted: a water-looked shameful flame

take it or leave it i say to you
what's so absurd is that, it has no clue
messed you up or put you in chill
i'm telling you, that's part of the thrill

not taking it is not a bad choice
but missing it is like losing your own voice
going through with it is maybe a just decision
just don't be so fed up with your own confusion

it really is a bonafide spice of life
outcomes may turn out dull or bright
be valiant enough, bring your guts
shun "what ifs" and take the risk
