If only I could surpass this state.

If only I had the means.

If only I wasn’t dealt this fate.

If only I could be seen.

If only.

If only I could gather time

And grasp it in my hands,

Then I’d be worthy of the sublime

And make bigger and better plans

If only.

If only ‘if only’ was holding us back.

But if only is not what holds us there

Or keeps us from what we lack.

A thought none can seem to bear.

If only.

If only ‘if only’ was never said

Then circumstance is free of blame.

If only we pushed on instead.

If only we overcame

If only.
