bad choices

I tend to make a lot of those.

Be suspicious of your claims when you think a decision was easy to make.

Your instincts are making a fool out of you.

Every scenario comes with a profit,

Every scenario comes with a price.

Doing the math is supposed to take time.

I don't think a lot before I act

and that messes with my head

Everything's good

Everything's fine

until I realise it's never what I wanted

So I run or I hide.

So far, it's okay

I always managed to escape

but one of these days

it might be too late.

You can't help me, but you try.

I can.

I don't.

I try putting it on paper.

It's supposed to help.

It does.

Temporary relief.

To change the conditions that cause my frustration

is much harder to achieve.

So it comes back.

Every time.

Stronger than before,

because now it also carries the power

my new found hope once wore.

Like a serial killer

who takes home a part of his kills

ignoring the danger they may represent

just for the sake of the thrill.

I believe we need to challenge life. Attempt great and wild things. I agree with your thoughts and I liked the ending. A life without thrills? A boring life. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
