Minefield
April 20, 2017
I've gotton so close, but yet so far.
I am in a fragile zone.
If I move, it's a dangerous gamble.
Because if I step on a mine, I nuke this opportunity.
But if I stand still, where am I going?
I made my move, it's God's turn to choose,
now I shut my eyes and cover my ears, hoping that I
didn't step on my biggest fear.
If I did, then the bombs go off, I'll be in trouble,
and all that would be left is ash and rubble.
This must be the biggest chance I've taken,
was it worth it, or was I mistaken?
