What if...

What if

I could dream

What if

I could wish

What if

I could live

The way I want to live.

What if

I could decide

What if

I could desire

What if

I could do

what I really want.

What if

that's the key

What if

that'll set me free

What if

That is all I need

to be happy.

What if...

so many of us

have built our lives

wondering what if...

In the end

it leads one to:

What if

I didn't wonder

but did.

What if's

are so easy

to get caught up in

it's like a political dream

a web of false hope

requiring nothing at all

It fuels itself

and dies one its own

forgotten with time

For it was a promise

never promised.

For once,

defy what society

taught you as a child

revert to you babyhood

when you didn't wonder,

what if

I crawled

what if

I ate that

what if

I talked, or walked

or cried, or laughed.

You simply did.
