Nothing to Lose

This whole thing is just
one step or twelve past normal
just where I want it to be

Everything the opposite of sure
is really the best place to be
when the odds are just a little bit out of favor
when you are slightly outmatched
fear steps in making its presence felt
telling you that you might not make it
you might not succeed even though you have
some hope
some chance

There then is everything to lose
Past normal
where everything is the opposite of sure
where you have no hope
where you have no chance
there really is nothing to lose

Just one step or twelve past normal
is just where I want it
when there really is no reason
not to try
