Is It Better

Not to ask than risk being rejected,
to run away than to feel neglected.

To ask for help or find your own way,
to save money or enjoy life today.

Not to love and avoid a broken heart,
to take the chance that it’s only a fart.

Each person has to answer for themselves but I say life is for living! Some of us are more careful perhaps than the ones who are spontaneous. Great poem it engages.
