Validation

 


Validation


(A lone voice whispers)


Are there two types of characters in this world 

To be seen 


Ranging through love 

To business, and everything else in-between 


Those who do take risks, and those who hate taking chances, and making mistakes 


Which one are you?


A.

 A risk-taker 


Or


B. 

An idolater of stepping on the brakes 


For sometimes, 

Is it better to have known something 

Briefly 


That might have had real potential, to be truly special 


Or would you rather linger lost

Forever


Taunted 


By self-doubts, many whispering, red devils

Foundation.


Would you rather be haunted by self-doubts, about taking chances?


With introspection?


Like an idolater who worships, stepping on the brakes?


Or are you courageous enough to take chances, and risk all, on something special.


With a high chance of making mistakes?


To never be lost, forever taunted 


By self-doubts, many whispering red devils


Who'll appear right out of the minds, many gates?


(If you're reading this far, you must be a type A.


You have my Validation of being a risk-taker.

Hit like if you are. Salute)
