If I...

If I could turn time around
Would I erase all the mistakes I’ve made
Good or bad, right or wrong

If I had a role model 
Would things improve? 
Or only get worse

If I learned to love and
Respect properly would
Others do the same

If I wrote one last and 
Final poem would 
Anyone understand why

If I was a different person
Would anyone accept me?
For who I am or was

 If I thought about it
Before I said anything
Would it help?

If I made better decisions
Would my life change in
Good or bad ways

If I could change people

If I could make a difference in someone’s life

If I could put a smile on a sad face

Would it help?

I’m fourteen. I know a lot for someone my age
But all the questions above, I know nothing
    All the questions above
             Need
