If I could find a four leaf clover
I’ve never found a four-leaf clover
And believe me, I have tried
I’ve never climbed a mountain top
Because they’ve seemed too high
I’ve never held on longer
Than I felt I should
And all because I don’t take risks
I’m afraid of them, of being good
If all of us were good, you see
Then no one would be great
That’s the logic I’ve always had
It’s the logic that lets me be
Yet it’s as the old saying goes,
The risk is worth the gold,
But why am I just too afraid
To risk such little for my soul.
I’ve never found a four-leaf clover
Not even in a store
I can’t even take the cheaper way
Of risking all I’ve earned
The mountain’s still too tall for me,
The test still just too hard
But if I were to put in what it takes
I could live no longer barred.

- The double-spacing and lack of punctuation put me off. Alas!

- I like the tempo certainly (though there are a couple spots where the flow got jammed) but the message makes me sad for humanity, however true it may be.

- There is just something lovely about rhyme and rhythm, and your story written in ABCB form was lust amazing. 5/5
