The Risk

There are two options for me now

the coming of age where we have

The two choices,

That will decide our future, 

Two tablets sit in front of me

The red:

A life full of adventure

But the risk of not knowing what is coming next

Who you will lose

Or the blue:

A life of knowing

Security

Always knowing what will come next

And being prepared to take the fall

But will I ever be able

To see adventure again

A life of knowing

must be simple

But did I really want simple

Even if complicated meant I'd be living in a sin

Red was so unknown

The risk so deep

But blue meant I was forced to stay here

Here forever

So what was really the sin

When I have been waiting for the day I would be able to leave,

But I've told myself I would pick what was

Correct in society

Cold

The sensation was cold

But the small plates slid away from me at y command

They tried to stop me

but I had made my choice

All of them watching

I took neither pill

No drug would decide my future,

I would

Down the narrow road they followed me

But they would never find the one

Who did not follow them.

I took the risk.
