risk

April 26, 2008

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk rejection
To place your dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure

Lock it or lose it

April 24, 2008

Lock it.
Lock it up now
or you could lose it.
Lock it up tight
lest it should escape.
Lock it away
away from enemies.
Lock it.
For God’s sake just lock it.

Are the warnings just not clear?
Why do you fight so?
There is nothing to fight for.
Don’t trouble yourself so.
Do you not fear?
Do you not fear losing it?
You have lost it
not once, not twice.
How many times do you need to get hurt?
How many warnings do you need?
Lock it up. Just lock it up.

Lock it.
Lock it now.
Lock it before someone else
comes and takes it away.
Lock it up
and keep yourself safe.
Lock it, please.
Lock it
or lose it.
