Slowly Tearing

On the outside looking in
Is how i feel about my life.
I am always taking the safe route
Never taking a chance.

Could I just take this once risk,
Could i go for the thing i want.
Would things go different for me
Would i learn to breathe again.

But everyday I live with the realization
That i cant have the thing i truly want
And having to face it everyday
Is slowly tearing me apart.

So here i am with a decision
Should i take this chance and risk the results
Or learn to live with the way things are
And learn to love again...

    Strange... But I feel this poem would sound better with a rhyme... A few language tools. I'm not into the frankness of it. A little metaphors and imagery would help. The truthfulness, though, is good.
