Questions Of Fear And Probability

If every time you rolled the dice
they came up snake eyes;
if every mouth you ever kissed
closed tight against you;
if the children you loved beyond life
turned from you in disgust;
if those you counted on as friends
found it easy to forget your name;
if every decision you ever made
dissolved to ashes before your eyes;
would you have the guts
to take one more chance?

Can you honestly answer yes?
Do you really have a warrior's heart?

Or beneath that calm and stoic veneer
are you broken and cowed?

Consider your answer closely, my friend,
and welcome to this moment in my world.
