The Call

Tiptoes on timid,
balancing on fear
you peeked at perfection. 
Chiseling abundance 
into limited hopes
you can only pray for more.
Chances did not weep
only regrets paved a paranoia.
To shun years of disillusionment - 
tribulations await rewards.
Boxed fears deliver
ambiguous results, 
pain assured. 

Yet the call echoes.
