Nwando Obianyor Poet Didactic

Dare

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach for another is to risk involvement
To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas your dreams before a crowd
Is to risk their loss
To love is to risk being loved in return
To believe is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken,because the greatest hazard
Of life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing,do nothing,have nothing,are nothing.
They may avoid sorrow and suffering
But they cannot learn,feel,change,grow,love and live.
