Should I Take Risks?

HeatherAnne • 1248 followers

I'll teeter on the precipice,
Worried to go faster,
So much fog and ice ahead,
I'm scared that I can't master.

I'll stay here on the very edge,
Take risks? I'd rather stay,
Living in the comfortable,
Where life won't run away.

I'll lie here on the very brink,
And watch the clouds stroll by,
Watch the colours blaze across,
An Aztec, azure sky.

I'll rest here where I'm safe and sound,
Because risks are something more,
But something itches in my mind,
Aren't risks what life is for?

Flying Through Goals

I close my eyes, Imagine my wings. With the blessing of the angels, I fly with the kings. Through the clouds, And past the sun. I still remember, The past mistakes done.

I am only human I. Chilled to the bone, I. Ghost along in this world, I. Sing my own song, I. Wonder if anyone, I. Love will remember I. When I am gone, I. Try to be good, I. Try to work hard, I.

melancholy

I am in that place I thought I had left behind. A place I hoped to never find. This time I have let my actions play with my mind. Confidence I once found. Has ran away.
