Patience- A Virtue Unwanted

By Err0r





"Be Patient."

If I rush too fast
I could drop my thought...

If I go too slow
I could lose my spot...

If I cut in line
I could get thrown out...

If I wait my turn
I could gain more doubt...

If I dive into love
I could hit jagged rocks...

If I fall into you
I could drown at the docks...

If I tell you how I feel
I could suffer in pain...

If I lie about my heart
I could burn in vain...


If I...

I could...

If I...

I would.


If you...

With Me...

If you...

Could see...


Just exactly

What I could be.


If I...

  • A former member wrote: The chances I remember taking are the ones that didn't turn out. The others are so obviously right in retrospect I forget I took a chance at the time. I'm impatient tho so lots of chances! Good write about the possibilities

  • A former member wrote: oooooh...chances, are moments that we are MEANT to either take and see where life leads from them, or let fall into oblivion and never know what might have happened otherwise. Always take the chance; you can't regret that way. Excellent. ~*Beth*~
