Regret

I’m not afraid to share my goals
I’ll list them off with pride
It doesn’t matter if I fail
It’s always worth the ride

I’ll prove it makes no difference
Whether I’ve succeeded
The confidence to try
Is all I’ve ever needed

I know some things I’m not
And the list is getting long
I’ve narrowed down who I am
By not caring if I’m wrong

If discomfort is a skill
I think I am a master
If awkward could destroy
I’m a natural disaster

I’ll tell you how I feel
Then think I over shared
I’ll wonder what you think
And not know if I should care

But when it comes to risk
I’ll always take the bet
Consider me all in
I don’t gamble with regret
