Risk/Reward Paroles

of family tradition,
my humble beginnings,
social values and such

even though i could make
conscious efforts to change
it just wouldn't be quite the same

and sure enough
my wisdom was flawed
oh silly thoughts!
call it a complex
call it whatever you want

even though i could make
conscious efforts to change
for all intents and purposes
i don't know if it'd be good enough

for the record some risks come with reward
and in looking forward
i don't know where to start
