Words

Words

Words spoken, grey, white or black,

You tried, you failed to bring them back,

Once said, once told, you sung the song,

You hurt, you sinned, evil all along.

They have the power, the strength,

May amend conflicts or cause them,

So,

Think, ponder, before you open your mouth,

Use them wisely or it'll all go down south.

The apologies, the sorries all go in vain,

You've said it once, you caused the pain,

The worries, the regrets shall remain for long,

You're not always right, you may be wrong.

Risk and Reluctance

Risk and Reluctance

Success, the colossal goal,

Takes time, extracts a heavy toll,

The one desire, that all seek,

Sans which, the future seems bleak.

Risk, the uncertain chance,

Takes guts, for one to advance,

The step, one must take,

The money, the time, all at stake.

Reluctance, the unwanted evil,

Stops us, the pointing needle,

The power, that holds us back,

The pain, the walls remain to crack.

Tough, it may seem sometime,

The insults, the risks, the paradigm,

Draw your path, march ahead,

Make the choices, you don't dread.
