Opportunity

Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Opportunity passes, as if floating on the sea,
And I did watch, trapped in lethargy
A lack of composure, a dislike of risk
Too scared of failure, of hit and miss

Will I regret it, I wonder relentlessly,
And am I better, away from uncertainty?
Is it so bad, to be snug in my skin,
Living without change, looking only within?

And yet a moment of hesitation, a word you didn't say
Is a life changed, a possibility locked away
And one thing is certain, a truth without doubt,
Life is better with risk, than without
And even failure, I’m told it is true
Makes you much stronger, and wiser too

So yesterday I did watch, as a chance left me,
But today I will risk it, and seize opportunity.
