What If

What if I took another turn
Walked up straight and never 
turn
What if I closed my ears that 
everytime you yell it echoes 
back in your head
What if my heart was made of 
steel That when its broken it 
never bend
and stand still 
What if this wasn't real
The feeling, and emotion
The action and drama all a 
fiction
What if I lied to my own self
This doesn't make any sense
Because  what's done is reality
All I just wish for is clarity
Some closure to hide this 
sorrow
Since every day its getting 
narrow
