JUST POETRY XVIII

55 RISK

To live life fully, we must take a risk

We are adults now, it’s a calculated risk

We can’t pull the covers over our head

Some think we might as well be dead

Our life is not anyone’s clone

Neither is it meant to be spent alone

Embrace life’s connection

It can make existence perfection

56 DAY

The sky is gray

It’s a melancholy day

I need something to make the blues go away

The world is full of places to play

A positive attitude is the price we pay

The work is constant, we must not stray

To reach the goal, effort can’t be halfway

You owe it to the cosmos, time to repay

You know you must, do it today

Alternatives are many, do it anyway
