Chances are the governments lying,
Chances are your parents are trying,
Chances are that love will find you,
Chances are the worst is behind you,

Chances are that life won’t be fair,
Chances are your friends really care,
Chances are you’ve been hurt once or more,
Chances are you will break the law,

Chances are you’re holding feelings in,
Chances are everyone will sin,
Chances are you’re scared of advances,
Chances are you don’t take enough chances.

We must read the lines before we read between the lines.

Chances are I was so in envy of this...and I already take too many chances.  Yes!

"Chances are you don’t take enough chances"

Wonderful cadence and flow, and an excellent ending line ... much to ponder. Very much enjoyed this, well done!

This is an excellent poem...wonderfully written with a fantastic message!  Thanks for sharing this with us...

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

Well, Chances Are that my thoughts immediately sprang
to Johnny Mathis and his beautiful rendition of this classic song ...

You have spoke many truths here, meek.  Chances are.....I loved this for the purity of it all.
