Self-confidence quote - If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down

If everything was different and life was a long-lasting dream Are you curious about "civilization cradle" ... if If you ask questions about things you do not understand We write, interpret poems and thoughts with ... if If you can free yourself from other people's opinions Nevertheless, you can never know for sure that the answer is right or wrong Neurologists, general doctors, researchers and brain surgeons admit that they only know a little promille of the brain's capacity And if that's right, then the word if appears terrifying Everyone has their own way of seeing the world If a horse had wings, would it be able to fly ? The wing horse Pegasus is a commonly used symbol in poetry If that was true; a horse with magical powers One can hardly imagine a better vehicle, if we think about environment and health But only if ... we wake up from our dream IF....

We have to go places and do things that stretch our understanding of reality. We have to look at things from a lot of different perspectives. It means getting out of our comfort zone. That is very exciting for some and scary for others.

So many 'If' surround us! To be 'sure' or 'certain' are relative terms. Who will fix the standard mark? All the best.

- "IF" ... creates uncertainty and bad self-esteem ... the only sure ... is uncertainty, Anisha :) - Many thanks for your visit and comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I agree we can get only so far with a dream, it takes action to bring it to fruition, lovely poem full of important meaning behind it. Have a great evening S.S.

I actually hate waking up from most of my dreams; I get a lot of poetry fuel from them. Oh well, this was a real thought provoking poem; yes, "If"; could it ever be? Beautifully penned and I wish you luck in the contest.

Sometimes it seems like the answers to many "if" questions come to us in dreams. When we're near sleep, we enter an "alpha state" that allows us to access more of our brains' powers. Perhaps the "if" questions could be addressed there. Thought-provoking and well composed poetry, Sunshine. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn

This is so deeply profound and I love your take on this. We all have our own hopes, dreams, thoughts and ideas and I can not even begin to count the number of times I have said "If only". Nicely done . Best of luck in the contest.
