I flirt with danger like it’s my next of kin.
I’ve been wild since birth.
Not loud.
Not reckless-for-the-applause.
The quiet kind of wild that doesn’t run from fire—
it learns its language.
But hear me:
Danger doesn’t love you back.
It just borrows your heartbeat
and forgets your name.
I used to think the edge made me holy.
That scars were proof of depth.
That chaos meant I was chosen for something more.
Truth?
Some of us confuse adrenaline with purpose.
We mistake the cliff for a calling.
I’ve stood in rooms where the air tasted like regret.
I’ve shaken hands with versions of myself
that never made it home.
And every time I walked away,
something stayed behind.
There’s a cost to dancing with the dark—
it always wants a down payment.
I don’t glamorize the flame anymore.
I respect it.
Because fire doesn’t ask who you are
before it decides what you’ll lose.
Still… I won’t lie.
There is a pull.
A hunger.
A whisper that says you were never built for the quiet.
But here’s the warning carved into bone:
If you flirt with danger,
do it with your eyes open.
Know when to leave.
Know when to live.
Because the edge isn’t a home—
it’s a border.
And some never make it back across.
