Words That Help You Heal

THE RISK THAT FAILED

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

I took a risk

But damn, it failed.

My whole life

Is now derailed.

But that’s okay

I’ll keep on trying.

I won’t give up

I’m done with crying.

So even though

I lost my strive.

I will not fail

I will survive.

If I used a word

I’d say I’m brisk.

So watch me go

Take another risk!
