What If

What if I look in the mirror
And see no reflection

What if I stand in the rain
And can't feel a single raindrop

What if I hurt myself
And I feel no pain

What if I look with head
Instead of my eyes

What if I feel every emotion
And at the same time feel none

What if my courage is broken
And I fall to my knees

What if I held on 
Till my fingers bled

What if I'm wrong
And what if I'm right 

What if I plead 
I plead for a ray of hope

What if I'm not here
And I'm not there

What if I only exist
In my own head
