It's an ordinary mysticism: "If only this had occurred."
If only the person said this, given what you overheard.
"If" is a conjunction that is applied to escape reality.
It can be useful or awful based on your personality.
"If" can inspire you in the morning and all day.
Every day I dwelled in the past and urged what "if" sway.
My prior deeds delay all the "if" stated or may arise.
I must live my life to lug them true without cries.
It's viable—I could live here if I hadn't moved.
I was in this dull home, I hope my soul is reproved.
Today and my fate designed me as weak and strong.
And has accomplished my suffering endured long.
Waiting for us to revert back to our lovely family
Time was of the utmost worth, and love remain the key.
In disjoin because of a home that wasn't my creation.
As a result of my failure in deciding the proper location.
Utterly overlooked and ostracized at a barred door.
I'm told it doesn't matter when living sans love core.
How can you transmute into a hate-filled house?
A blight book ending or a dwelling filled with mouse.
I am going to rely on God to soothe my pain.
Like so, I can flourish and look forward again.

things would have been like Poetry Contest
