Risk / Reward - Annabel

I’m giving up

future obligations

but I set a deadline

for a few exceptions

all in all a win for everyone

only opposed because

of family tradition,

my humble beginnings,

social values and such

even though I could make

conscious efforts to change

it just wouldn’t be quite the same

and sure enough

my wisdom was flawed

oh silly thoughts

call it a complex

call it whatever you want

even though I could make

conscious efforts to change

for all intents and purposes

I don’t know if it’d be good enough

for the record

it’s not just a passing thought

we knew all along

it might take too long

yeah, I know, I know

some risks come with reward

and in looking forward

I don’t know where to start
