Leaf

Sometimes, its better to admire from afar.
It always seems better in our own imagination,
for once I took my chance,
I was swept away by temptation.

I wish I would've just stayed shy and timid,
why must I have the ability to conqueor my own fears?
for now that I have finally done what I thought was right,
I will remember these coming years.

I took a chance,
A leaf picked up by the wind.
I fluttered about where it lead
And through such I have sinned.

And so I sit here and contemplate
telling myself now that I should just be patient and wait.

For when I take life by the reigns,
I only reap a multitude of emotional pain.
