Perhaps

Perhaps it's for the best.
Keeping me away;
Keeping me behind the rest.

Perhaps it's a talent.
Winning the roulette gamble;
Winning the life or death raffle.

Perhaps it's a habit.
Taking the Serpent's apple;
Taking the road of devilish laughter.

Perhaps it's for the candle.
Blowing an innocent soul;
Blowing the fire out with air, not water.

Perhaps it's life.
Pushed forward;
But always will there be opportunities that you cannot handle.
