-
- without hesitation.
- i'm a sucker for the sensation.
- the burn of the fire is so
- deliciously exquisite.
- an indescribable high.
- i've savored nirvana.
- i've choked on despair.
- and still i'd let you
- lead me there.
-
- i'd rather take the chance,
- even knowing the outcome in advance,
- than live a life of
- sheltered emotions.
- barred from joy,
- as much as sorrow
- what's the point
- of another tomorrow?
-
- i'd rather feel
- anguish
- than
- nothing.
- i'd rather be dead
- than forever numb.
-
- with no risk of pain
- there is no chance of love.
- i rejoice in the fact that i can feel!
- deeply. passionately. ecstatically.
- enthusiastically. excitedly.
- delightedly.
-
- i'll pick heads
- or tails
- and take my chances.
- every time.
-
- i'll just be a little more choosy
- next time,
- about which coin I flip.
