Take the Chance

I’m taking the chance,
I’m diving in with my eyes closed,
I’m going to see what happen,
So I don’t wake up and wish,
Wish I had taken the chance.
So close your eyes and feel me,
Feel my heart reaching out to yours,
Step into the deep end without a life jacket,
Take the chance,
See what happens,
Where we go,
What we do,
What we feel,
We can make a difference,
To this world that’s given up,
We can show them love,
Show them it’s not where you’ve been,
What you’ve done,
It’s where you’re going,
And what you’ll do,
Leave that past behind you,
Forget you’ve been hurt,
Close your eyes and take the chance,
I won’t lead you,
I won’t guide you,
For me eyes are closed also,
We’ll lead each other,
We’ll guide each other,
Take the chance.

I wish it was that easy.  I would to be the person who could just take a chance, but unfortunatly I'm not so I guess I'll have to settle for telling you how much I liked your poem because I know that's not taking a chance, it's telling the truth!  Keep up the good work!

I thought this was well written and has a good message....so back to the top it goes.
Nice work...

 i never thought i'd die alone, i laughed the loudest who'd have known?
i traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all
i took my time, i hurried up
the choice was mine i didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on, you'll be sorry when i'm gone
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when i still felt alive, we couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over i'd survived
I couldn't wait till i got home, to pass the time in my room alone
I never thought i'd die alone, another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to my friends, you'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time i spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall, please tell mum this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
But tomorrow holds such better days
Days when i can still feel alive, when i can't wait to get outside
The world was wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, i've survived
I can't wait till i get home, to pass the time in my room alone
