love or not

In the shadows, I’m dodging the fate that’s lurking, Left or right, every choice got my heart still working, Life's a gamble, I’m rolling dice, but I’m feeling cursed, Open my soul, let the love in, it’s a blessing or a hearse. Streets whisper secrets, temptations, they call my name, But I’m wise to the game, know the risks, know the pain, Every step’s a tightrope, balancing dreams and despair, Gotta choose the right path, but the pressure’s in the air. Heart on my sleeve, but it’s heavy like a lead weight, Trusting in love, but the fear makes me hesitate, Decisions like bullets, they fly and they ricochet, Aim for the best, but the worst is just a breath away. I’m chasing clarity, darkness lurking in the mist, Navigating choices, can’t afford to miss, So I’m reaching for the light, with my heart in my hands, Hoping love’s a treasure, not just shifting sands.
