Bold

Being bold takes goodwill, empathy,
fearlessness, unprejudiced attitude.
It’s a discipline, demands much labour,
Sweat, self-awareness and surveillance.

Nevertheless it’s worth all the effort!
Otherwise no one would never have
Either dived in the sky or tamed a tiger
Or just tried sushi like me the other day.

Boldness causes life to be delighful,
And surprising,  and sunlit, and meaningful.
It’s what makes one love passionately
Even if they’re absolutely not sure whether
They are or will ever be loved in return.
