What If

What If? What if this strenuous struggle won't pay off Or my toils would not vanish soon enough What if destiny promises a deceptive future Or my foresight over the years are mere blurry capture What if these tussles would last for years And failures would not stop to induce my fears What if my aspirations are mere fantasy Or fortune deters itself from my bumpy journey What if success refuses to come my way And doubters continue to mock my pains What if I fail in the end And turn a bad precedence from which others learn What if I starve till I sprout grey And hide at the sight of successful mates What if the prosperous moments are not even promised Or from this emotional woes, I couldn't get healed What if I would bite finger at end of time Telling pitiful stories to unforseen kids & wife What if greatness is not meant for me And this tears would continue to be daily meal What if I end up as a shameful failure And beneath my old age, hardship lurks What if my heart does not find a solace soon And I continue to live with dreary days & noons What if I fail to make family proud Or friends find deception in my unending vow What if I wouldn't ride my anticipated Benz Or have no shiny roof above my head What if the bright moments refuse to come through And kismet keeps me united with unending ridicule What if I give up sooner Having found no solace to sooth my burning heart What if?
