400 Poem Challenge (completed December 26, 10:15am)

the biggest mistake

we fear making mistakes

wondering what people will say

so we hide in shadows

our options we weigh

we fear taking chances

just in case we may fail

so we live in quiet submission

in return, life grows stale

so do we stay like this

until the day we die

fuck that

the biggest mistake, we can make

is that we don't even try
