I don't know why I stay.
Why I even came back, I don't know.
I have nothing to keep me here
and all the reasons in the world to go.

The nights seem darker, the days more dim,
I continue to keep my mind on him,
the one reaching out, wanting to see
a better life we can make for me.

It's a big chance and I am afraid,
what if I fail and wish I had stayed?

But it's come time for a decision,
one I must make alone,
to start over brand new,
new job and new home...
and maybe a new man,
lover or friend,
even if I fail
he'd be there till the end.

A chance to get my life on track
with any luck, I'll never come back.

You got me hooked on your poetry, girl. I love your work - I love your heart - and I love the emotion that is inside you. It is who you are and you share it so well.

Perhaps it's better to fail than never to take a chance but then again nothing really is a failure - it's just something to learn from. Go out and learn, dear Dixie, because you may learn that the chance you took was the best thing you've ever done.

A day at a time... take the risk learn to fly again! A fresh begining is what we sometimes need to find our happiness... Your writings are amazingly moving... you have a strong... giving heart.. failure is not part of your future... Happiness is..

Good luck!
