The Gamble of Becoming

Not all questions need replies,

But some demand the will to try.

What if the answer hides in flame,

And silence speaks the victor's name?

One choice rewrites the stars and sand,

One step can change a trembling hand.

All it takes is one bold breath,

To walk from fear and flirt with death.

Regret is carved from things untried,

From moments missed and tears denied.

A different fate begins with choice,

A future heard through quiet voice.

So weigh the risk, then let it fly,

Some stories end before goodbye.

And some are written by the brave,

Who lost the past, but chose to save.
