The Reckoning
Life's greatest pleasures,beyond a threshold of pain
do I embark, or should I abstain
Complacently watching,
as love passes by
no heartache, no worries, no sorrow, no lies
And should I embark,
could I reach my goal
as fear and distrust, now burden my soul
Do I placate my fears,
put my worries to rest
step out in faith, and pray for the best
Or sit silently watching,
my dreams pushed aside
succumb to betrayal, my passions denied
