What Is It?

It is a risk, a taken chance,
A blind gesture,
An offering to place a tiny part of yourself
Into someone else’s hands.
It is a plea, a roller coaster ride.
It is an answer.
It is a disappointment, or a verification of happiness.
It is impossible, or second-nature.
It is a weighing of the odds, a 50/50 chance.
It is terrifying, paralyzing, or sometimes an afterthought.
It is diverse.
It is life-altering, or it is forgotten.
It is an obligation, or it is a leap of faith.
It is expected, or it is disgusting.
It is courageous, an act of bravery.
It is thoughtful, a meticulous decision.
It is hand-picked, or it is standard.
It is the epitome of reckless abandon.

It is a friend request.
