Risk

Perhaps what is said will always be known,

For I had the courage to present my own,

The litany of lies that were told, 

The incumbency that was never known, 

For deep in our hearts we all are aware, 

It's just a question of introspection yet the world makes us beware, 

Yes I have the audacity to take the risk

Reflect upon the injustices and times which could have been but never seen, 

Yet here I am in a hollow, 

Pretending to be superior in our lives yet so shallow, 

So what should it exactly be? 

My perfunctoriness or the way that we are seen,

No one makes my life, yet they decide my future, 

No one can decide whether I would see that future,

No one has the right, to what I can achieve and what I cannot

I take the risk, I decide if it's in my favour or not

Perhaps, in a better world

I would be able to feel, 

That love and graciousness are things not to be concealed
