Risk averse?

I'll risk a verse.
Not now but some time later when I feel that way again
My soul's still ok just that the mind is at war.

I did something someone may consider out of character.
Actually it’s expected of me
No I’m not losing it
I do speak for the voiceless at times.
I take risks
I just did that

I may have everything to lose
But then again what do I have to lose?
I don’t have much but I have everything
What I have cannot be lost
I can only give it away
I don’t see myself giving it away anytime soon
Sometimes one cannot just look the other way and just carry on
The next person is your business
Yes, you’re your brother’s keeper

I will not retract what I said today
I even wrote some of it down
Some wars have to be fought today by me
I may forget and I will be accountable

These wars have to be fought some time
Someone’s got to do it
It’s not always me
Today it had to be me
I don’t feel afraid
There’s no precedent in this case
I’m setting the pace
Some things just cannot be left to just go on without challenge
I have spoken for the voiceless
Someone has to take stock of what they’re doing
