Poem Title:
Poem
What if I said I couldn't see my way Through the day? Would you convince me of my worth? What if life passes me by and And all I have is today? Would you remind me of what I did yesterday? What if I no longer feel the need To go on and on and on.....? Would you give me a push into tomorrow? What if I feel no compassion anymore But only feel numb? Would you praise me for all the help I have unconditionally given? What if I am eaten up with hatred For an unidentifiable person or thing? Would you assuage me of my conscience? What if my past always Comes back to torment me? Would you say “not to worry”? What if I am meant for great things But I know not what? Would you say “don’t rush it”? What if I said I wasn't sure what to say? Would you remind me of my previous testimonies? What do I do with this life drift? I ask myself in despair I feel blue My mind swirls My heart tramples a path Through my chest What if I know what I need to do But am afraid of the consequences? Would you say “life is full of risks”? What oh what do I do? What if there are no answers That encompass all I want and Need to know? Would you admonish me for being foolish? What if I am just meant to fade away And no longer be remembered? Would you remind me that history never forgets? I ask what if but I do not think I Want to hear the answers I already know
