When given an opportunity

You kind of just sit there

And let it pass by

Because it is unlikely

That taking it would do 

Anything.

But then you think

And you think

Think some more

Until you realize

You are throwing away

Good chances

To win something new

To learn something new

To like something new.

And that is when

You feel like

Trying won't hurt

And you tell yourself this

Every

Single

Time

Until something surprises

You

And your life

Just gets

A little more

 

Interesting.
