Got this from Cay's Friendster profile. Damn this is good...

RISK
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. so what?
Fools have a lot of fun.
To weep is to risk being called sentimental.
Of course Im sentimental. I love it! Tears can help.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
Whos risking involvement? I want to be involved.
To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self.
What else do I have to show?
To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd
is to risk being called nave. Im called worse things than that.
To Love is to risk not being loved in return. I dont love to be loved in return.
To live is to risk dying. Im ready for it.
