Validation

Validation (A lone voice whispers) Are there two types of characters in this world To be seen Ranging through love To business, and everything else in-between Those who do take risks, and those who hate taking chances, and making mistakes Which one are you? A. A risk-taker Or B. An idolater of stepping on the brakes For sometimes, Is it better to have known something Briefly That might have had real potential, to be truly special Or would you rather linger lost Forever Taunted By self-doubts, many whispering, red devils (C) Copyright John Duffy Foundation. Would you rather be haunted by self-doubts, about taking chances? With introspection? Like an idolater who worships, stepping on the brakes? Or are you courageous enough to take chances, and risk all, on something special. With a high chance of making mistakes? To never be lost, forever taunted By self-doubts, many whispering red devils Who'll appear right out of the minds, many gates? (If you're reading this far, you must be a type A. You have my Validation of being a risk-taker. Hit like if you are. Salute)
