Risks
I took a risk.
I applied to graduate school,
I was filled with fear of the unknown and looking like a fool.
I excelled in my classes,
I impressed the masses.
I took a risk.
I applied for pre-approval on a home loan.
So many memories, house hunting with my love.
In May, we moved in and I made it my own.
Our home, it fits like a glove.
I took a risk.
In August, celebrating my birthday family,
Again, my love pushed me to raise the bar.
My uncle informed us his company would sell me a car happily.
So, I went and bought my first brand new car.
2016 was full of firsts and risks.
Anxiety spikes, ups, and downs.
Love and happiness because of him,
I have went out on more than one limb,
and feel as though I have worn many crowns.
