If I Weren'T Afraid, I'D Be a Writer
If I weren’t afraid, I’d write a novel
Tell the story of love growing up
Or the fictionary tale of a quarrel
Possibly something with a buildup
If I weren’t afraid, I’d write an article
Tell others how to grow vegetables
Or perhaps just what is in a particle
Probably give directions to festivals
If I weren’t afraid, I’d write an essay
Tell about the day I got married
Or maybe how I felt when gone astray
Possibly something about love being scary
If I weren’t afraid, I’d write a short story
Tell my reader how much I adore nature
Or maybe make it read like a mystery
Probably a gospel story like told by our creator
If I weren’t afraid, I’d write a poem
Tell about the little things that I love
Or recall the many times I’ve felt an omen
To reach out with hymns from up above
