Standing on the Border
between Good and possibly
Better,
I take what I can from the Good
and try to leave,
believing that
“Possibly Better”
deserves
a fighting chance.


The author's comments:
This poem is about taking chances and risks, even if it means you have to change something you really love. Sometimes, people get too comfortable in one place and stay there even though they KNOW that somewhere else might be better. I'm making big changes in my life. I'm scared, but ultimately, I think it is for the best.
