I've Taken A Risk!

It's been said by a many,

Life is for taking risks,

But I've never been one for taking that dive,

I'm not always the one with the tricks.

Yet I was there in the moment,

And I thought 'why not?'

I know the worst can happen,

But I'll give it a shot.

And I'm still in that moment,

It could all yet go wrong,

I don't which way it'll go,

And the wait to find out feels so long.

It could finish a nightmare,

But it could be a near-perfect dream,

I could end up beaming like Old Larry,

Or stood there about to scream.

And now the adrenaline's pumping,

To know the outcome I crave.

I'm praying that it goes my way,

Let me jump high and ride this wave.

Life is for taking risks,

And the process is far from mild.

I suppose that's what it's all about though,

So for now I'm going to live being wild.
