Risk*

 

Risk decides to ride,
Puts a stake in the game.
Any balking bystander can
Believe it’s a mistake,
Tell you you're fake,
Give you doubt.
They don’t know
How living comes about.
Don’t measure your friends
By who you never met,
Making memories
Of musing and regrets.
Pick a table,
Throw the dice,
And place a bet.

*The people around you don’t have to listen to the voices in your head that told you to take a chance back then but you didn’t. No risk means a safe and unhappy life. Leave it all on the field, a looser is better than someone who has never played the game.
