What Fear Gets You

You better believe that someone,
Will take the opportunity,
That you shun in favour of risklessness,
And wondering what could have been,

And no one else will ever do it,
With such relish as you would,
Or deserves as much, either,
But you'd do it if you could,

Which you can't because you lack the gumption.
I'm sorry, am I being insensitive?
I shouldn't make such a big deal,
Of the quality of how you live.

In fact, it's alright,
Go ahead and underachieve,
And when you're old, make sure you acknowledge,
All you could have been.
