What If

What if I fail? What if no one listens to me? What if I'm rejected? What if I learned to just let things be? It seems the harder I try to escape my thoughts The deeper into despair I go There's no doubt the strength of my internal fight Determines the depth of my cognitive hole I worry and I worry Fighting to resolve the emotional battle inside But I find minimal relief It only compromises myself, and all those dear in my life What if I were to let the worry go? I'm afraid I might lose everything Yet im perfectly aware Worrying doesn't change a damn thing My fixation of worrying Is a destructive fixation of myself While focusing on external issues I lose sight of the internals, and everything else I need to be honest with myself Are there things I can change? What am I scared to look at? Perhaps this is why we don’t change without pain? What if I learn to breathe deeply Acknowledge life, and let things be Just relax and appreciate Radically accept all of life’s endless possibilities What if?
