Risk Poem by Anaïs Nin

Risk

Rating: 4.2


And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

'' And then the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to Blossom. '' AN ITALIAN TRANSLATION: '' E il giorno arrivò, quando il rischio di rimanere chiusa nel bocciolo si fece più doloroso del rischio insito nello sbocciare. ''

Remain tight in a bud is painful where as blossoming is freedom, though gaining it is tough, it has its own rewards.
