Trade

Would you make a deal,
If you knew the risks involved?
Would you face your Nemesis
To get all your problems solved?

Would you exchange;
Would you take tears for gems?
Would you confront your fears
And wipe out from whence it stems?

Would you choose your means,
Whether it be beg, borrow or steal?
Or would you give up your wants
To truly get to know what you feel?

Would you readily trade;
Would you give up today for tomorrow?
Would you live for a dream,
And willingly trade happiness for sorrow?
