Literature Text

You don’t know what you want
That’s the problem.
You can’t choose between safety or risk
For with one there is fire
And the other’s a liar
The other is slyer
And one is a tryer.
But what if the safety is risky
And the risk is safe?
What will you do then
When things seem unsafe.

Two kinds of beauty
Shock me
Stun me,
Scare me
Shun me.
From, 'Me, Myself, Not You' [link]

I hate taking risks, I hardly ever do. But when I do I always get a rush afterwards, it's liberating. True, it's generally followed by a down but it's good for that small moment.
I always end up telling myself to just play it safe.
