Measured Risk
I take risks not in the daredevil way,
but rather in a human to human way.
I take risks by loving someone,
by befriending someone, by trusting someone.
I may seem weak to the untrained eye,
because let's be real I'm not about roller coasters,
cliff diving or paragliding.
The rides I go on are specific to the heart,
the mind, the body, and soul.
The ups and downs I face are due to the risks I take.
It may not look like much, because it's disguised through a smile
but when piece after piece after piece of my broken life
shatter into even smaller, sharper objects - the risk I take is not ever putting myself back together.
