Taking a Risk
To care is to risk not being cared for.
To show feelings is to risk being exposed.
To cry is to risk being seen emotional.
To crave success is to risk failure.
To love is to risk feeling pain.
To dream is to risk returning to reality.
To move away is to risk feeling out of place.
To live your life is to risk death.
To try new things risks not being good enough.
To attempt to win risks losing.
To make friends risks betrayal.
To go to Texas A&M University risks not loving the school as much as you admired growing up.
To be an entrepreneur risks disaster.
However it is necessary for risks to be taken because the worse way to go through life is to risk nothing at all.
