#risks
I wake up already in an argument.
no voices, just the weight of two directions pulling behind my ribs,
like a compass that forgot which way is north.
One of me whispers, “stay where it’s certain,”tracing circles in familiar ground.
the other steps past the edge of “maybe”,willing to get lost just to feel what’s forward.
We meet in the mirror without agreement.
same eyes, different verdicts.
One counts failures like loose change,
the other spends hope recklessly, again and again.
And somehow, every day,
neither of us wins.
but neither leaves.
It’s always been, Me vs. Myself.

Those Risks
They say soccer is a dangerous game to play
And yes there are risks when you join a team
All hustle and bustle score the winning goal!
You can be knocked unconscious
You can swallow your tongue
You can break a leg
You can have a heart attack
You can be killed by rocket attack
Yes there are risks yet winning is worth it
Would you take a risk and play soccer?

i am silent most of the days
i have have learned this hard way
that when you are vocal
about something
the more your voice will spread
the more you will lose people
from your life'
i am not good with risks
that's the only reason for my silence
now i just observe
and pass a smile
not because its easy
its all about what i can loss over
what i can gain

the power you hold when being quiet;
when you decide to step back;
when you love discreetly;
when you don't care.
as the power piles up, where will you use it for?
I wish you realize that some risks -- the small talks, subtle smiles,
the i love yous, by being vocal and loud and mad --
are fun and worth the power, most of the time.

So alone in a world
When the only thing that matters is
What other people want,
Drugs are always considered the top priority
And having feelings
Will make you wind up
As crazy as they come.
When looking for
A friend is too much of a risk
And falling in love
Is the biggest mistake of your lifetime.
Never trust anyone whom tells you
To trust them and always have a look out
Because you might get caught
If you need a point of Black
You call them back
And if you need a fix of white
Slip into the abyss
Your never be free
If you decide
You need more than ****

My mind is blank
In my head, dark thoughts sank
My mind is clouded
Things are shrouded
I can't see a thing
So I begin to sing
Not knowing what it shall bring
I sing of spring
I sing of my king
I see a ring
Attached to a string
What does the string bring?
Am I willing to take the risk
I need to be brisk
Shall I give my life to someone
Or decline the ring from one
Not knowing what the string brings

I took the shot and it was nothing but net,
Life is a gamble so let's take a risk,
Can't have nothing without risking it all,
Them L's I'm taking will give me the bigger win,
I see the future not worrying about the past,
Life is a game so let the best man win.
How you expect to win if you don't play?
The moment we start living and stop dreaming,
Is the moment we starting making a difference,
The fear of taking risks is what holds us back,
I sat back doing nothing for too long,
Now I'm getting into the game.
I'm the main attraction y'all just small time,
If you want something big,
You gotta stop thinking so small,
Life ain't gonna live itself,
Wanna a different life then live differently,
My life is on the uprise,
I'm done living for everyone else,
It's my time so I'm living for myself.
Don't apologize for making yourself better,
Not everyone will want the best for you,
If you can't support me then I don't need you,
All the hate you bringing ain't hurting me,
The hate brings me more motivation then frustration,
If you ain't doing something right they would be silent,
Obviously I'm doing everything right,
My name stay in they mouth,
Keep talking and I'm gonna keep shining.

I have a big dream;
And it's my lifetime dream.
I want to take the risk to try it out;
But I'm also afraid of the consequences.
I keep thinking, maybe if I tried it out, I won't get accepted;
Or maybe if I will get accepted, I can encounter lots of obstacle and take big risks,
And that dream could change my life.
But still, it is my lifetime dream;
And I'm still very confused right now.
Should I take the risks or not?

Living truly
"Safe"
will be
the death

As soon as I learned
I don’t need to hold anyone's hand
while I’m crossing the road anymore,
The heaviness
of the risks I never knew
not to take
conversed with me after dark,
they reside.

The thought of you gives me chills
Every part of you brings in thrills
I always knew you're out my league
But a future with you? I'm intrigued
Anxiety, wash clean this blank slate
Euphoria, paint me the colors of fate
For I'd risk more than I could take
To be with you when everything's at stake

All the viruses come out of human beings
Only if we could stop them with just a change in perspective of seeing
These viruses completely make our visual senses foggy
But we only realise it when the cereals get soggy
That’s when u realize u are at the edge of your life
Having a constant threat of an attack with a knife
You still take risks and try to find the cure
And then realise that you’re extremely unsure
That’s how our life works with all the threats and risks
Until you sit down and enjoy the crisps

I dropped some cereal in my bed
Got all the ******* in my head
Moons and stars in the sky
Smoking **** and getting high
All day we dream about the little futures
In out hearts are some creatures
Running and screaming getting trapped in our souls
Just listening to us down there and stopping us from completing out goals
People kept on leaving me in the worst moments
All just to realise that my friends were my opponents

Run, hurry, don't stop
We can't let our hope drop
There's a future waiting up ahead
Can't turn out dead
Danger lurking around
Stay close to the ground
Don't separate from one another
Just a bit farther
The home left behind
But got to keep it out of mind
Thirst and hunger, there's less energy
No, move on, even if empty
The desert seems endless
Trapped in a tremendous mess
Seems to have no end
Death has become a close friend
Got one injured when fell
Another ill, not feeling well
The number decreases
Left downhearted and in pieces
Heat is killing
Blood is spilling
We have risked it all
We cannot fall

there are four steps
of thin ice
between you and me.
1
it’s okay if you’re unsure.
i don’t mind if you’re still trying
to understand the rhythm of your heart
over the rationality in your mind.
i can wait as long as it takes
because I also know the complexity
of loving someone.
i understand the risks and the doubts
that come with
choosing to love someone.
2
all I want is your happiness
and if this thin sheet of ice isn’t enough
to hold both of us,
i don’t mind falling through
if it means keeping you afloat.
i would rather sink into the cold, dark
than to watch you struggle.
i don’t mind letting go
and breaking the ice from under me.
i want to see you happy
even if it means I won’t be the person to reach you.
3
another step forward will be my end.
there’s no path for me to walk back.
i will wait here, until you’re ready
to reach out and close the final step.
and even if the ice may break from under me
i will wait.
i will love you cautiously.
and with this distance between us,
i will choose
again and again
to give this heart to you.

avoid risks
and question the existence
of any type of danger
run from warmth
and wonder why
i am tired of the cold
keep myself quiet
and yet choke on the words
i would rather leave unsaid
rip my heart out
to ease the heaviness
of a love i cannot carry
feign disappearing
to avoid facing
the misery of a life unlived

blue peonies
the dragonfly swifts in
pink lilies
landing behind the windowsill
green orchids
piercing screams the creature exhales
one last glance around the empty room
the dragonfly flies out
a pin drops
