Shallow (Notevember 2023, #24)

Dare to be brave, they say, dive in head first
“I wish I had done…” – those regrets are the worst
So say that I venture, what do I stand to gain?
If I am unlucky: a concussion or a sprain
A risk, although tiny, is that I could perish
But if I survive: an experience to cherish
I’m sure there’s no danger, it’s all in my head
So I muster my courage and do what they said
