What if there was a world
where no harm was done,
no shame or mistakes
What if there was a world
Where nobody was scared,
no hiding or lies
What if there was a world
If I could spell fear then I wouldn't,
Given the chance, I'd scream it in its face,
You would begin to stutter but you shouldn't,
Fear was designed to put you in your place,
I haven't felt so relieved in my life.
I want you gone forever.
Leave and don't return.
You asked me if I remembered
all the good times we had,
and I do.
If I knew what drowning felt like, I might say I was
If I could find myself, I would start looking
If I could become water, maybe I wouldn’t drown
The weight does feel like endless fluid
What if I told you
That when I think you about my skin lifts from my bones and my brain turns into mush?
What if I told you
That when you contact me my reality becomes distorted?
What if I told you
Standing, arms crisscrossed as the dead, I stand.
And now she let's lose in soft lips a coo
"Trust me"
"I'll catch you"
She's waiting, but I'm still standing
because
what -what if she doesn't?
If I aspire to nothing I will be nothing.
If I work hard I'll only be disappointed
But...
If I work for me I will achieve greatness.
If I live to love I shall crash and burn.
if.
the two letters
stuck in the middle of
this crazy thing called
life.
the four letters
that can be amazing
or we can say if
only.
the one word
If rays of light refract, rend rainbows,
then surely I can make a change
If salmon somehow stagger homeward,
surely I can stay the course
If men have trekked the might of mountains,
surely I can rise above
If I could
but for one moment
keep at bay
the pain, the suffering, the sorrow
If I could
but for one moment
Still the tempest
Bring back the blush
of life
into the cold pale faces
If I were a poet,
I'd probably write about love.
I'd probably write about first isses,
and dates;
sitting together at the park eating KFC
and laughing at the world.
If all the trees went red,would you notice with your heart or your head?
If all the sweets went sour,would you still devour?
if all ends came with friends,would we want to mend?
