Makes no sense.

Walking through a casino.

I'm scared to play.
I'm scared to go for it.
I'm scared to lose.

People tell me.
Without playing, you'll never win.
I tell her, to fight.

How is it?
How is it that you're in my head?
It makes no sense.

A person of math and logic knows that the odds are stacked against him on the table.
And chooses to avoid playing.
A person of hope and chance knows that the odds are stacked against him on the table.
And chooses to play, hoping to win.

Am I being conservative?
Am I being pessimistic?
