Taking A Chance

My customer was late for almost 20mins for his meeting, hence the time to write this amateur poem at his office lobby. Enjoy!


Taking A Chance
By Dorothy

Here I am again, deliberating
Unsettled to hear my heart wavering
Have always believed risks must be measured
That all actions are to be rightly calculated
Coz I won't take a chance at life.

I envy those who laugh & forget tomorrows
And those who can cry the full weight of their sorrows
I envy hearts who hope, knowing they'll be broken
After, still making the choice to keep them open
Coz I won't take a chance at life.

I won't take the steps that may break me
Though he may well be the one who makes me
Just breathe softly and his scent will stay
Don't sleep too deep and he won't fade away
Coz I won't take a chance at life.

Seeing his smile puts me on a high
Thinking about him sets my soul alight
The higher you climb, the harder you fall
I am not ready to lose it all
Coz I won't take a chance at life.

He might have faked what he doesn't feel
Mirroring, I too, faked what I do feel
All my questions, I have the answers to
In time, my heart will understand my mind too
Coz I won't take a chance at life.
