If I Were You

If I were you, Then how would I truly feel? If I were you, How would I view life in general? If I were you, Would I have a heart of steel? If I were you, Would I still be a boy that's delusional? For days on end, I have been lost in thought Thoughts that poke at me questions that are meant to break or mend Will I survive or rot? Where's the faith I sought? All for naught? Have the battles been fought? If I were you, Will I have peace in mind that goes on forever? If I were you, Would I be a happier guy with wings of flight? If I were you, Will I have a handsome heart that pumps me up with pleasure? If I were you, Would I be more motivated with deep passion and might? What would I do in your skin? Where have you been again? I'm spiraling on my last straw while I'm dreading the fact that you're gone Negativity is a temporary gum that I chew on and yet, I try to welcome the sun Sticks and stones will not break me Your words will not break me...I wish they would repair me... Your body language won't brainwash me... Illuminating scars fill the void in my heart Tearing my love towards you apart Preparing for what lies ahead in my life... Is easier said than done when dealing with strife! If I were you for the years to come, What kind of fears do I have to overcome? If I were you from this day on, Whom shall I look upon? Would my battles be won? Would my strength be full or would I run out in the long run? If I were you, Would I feel accepted or rejected in society? If I were you, How long would I live to achieve my heart's ecstasy? What if I miss out on the opportunities that life offers me? Will it still throw at me curved balls of dilemma-indulged reality?
