what if we were scared of every opportunity?
overcome by our doubts, our insecurities-
deathly afraid of being exposed.
we would never take a risk,
never find heartbreak or pain.
is that a good thing?
what if we knew what each decision would bring?
we would cease to make decisions.
the reward of effort would vanish.
the satisfaction of a love which only can be
found by becoming blind to our fear-
it would all disappear.
what is life if not a mystery?
is that a life? By no means-
it is only existing.
so exist, but do so through blind eyes,
a faithful heart,
and by embracing the inevitable.
