What If

What if I died tonight? Would you be happy with how our last conversation went?
Would you Think about the text message you never sent?
What if It's my time to go, are you ready for me to leave?
What if I die Tonight?  will you be okay or will you need to grieve?

Bipolar mixed with anxiety and depression I can't lie, my mind is a mess
Fought depression for 9 years, not sure how much time I have left
I'm no longer suicidal, but every day I battle a lot of crazy thoughts
Would you be mad because I wrote more than I talked?

What if I died, but you could go back and say one last thing to me?
Would you hug me?, slap me? Or sing to me?
What if you found a love letter addressed to you after I passed?
Would you read it, or just leave it at that?

What if I got in an accident that left me in a wheelchair?
Would you think differently of me? Would you still care?
What if I went to kiss you, would you push me away or kiss me back?
What if I went missing, would you wonder about where I was at?

What if you never got to speak to me again, would you be okay with how our last conversation went?
Would you hate yourself for the texts you never sent?
What if the person you love is about to take their last breath?
Life is too short, go and tell someone how you feel and enjoy the time that you get

Oh wow! This is heartbreaking Alex! I hope you'll stand tall and show them you can live life to the fullest. Don't let the negative thoughts base in your mind. You control who you wanna be. NO ONE but YOU. So rise and live life as you should :)
