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

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)
