Ifs Poems - Poems about Ifs

The day they kidnapped you Was the day I found myself lost. I found myself mostly numb In a frosted layer of my own tears -- My eyes now dried out from Years of overuse. I've never missed something this badly, Even after losing my own dad. Sadly this takes the cake. I almost feel inhuman for feeling this way. But isn't that what I...

Ordinary days, just like before, No one knows the feeling of being ignored. It's always that one who makes the heart beat fast, In every way, giving the heart a blast. That someone is too far from reality, The impossible hits differently. Too good to be true to notice, Even in the smallest way, there's no space. It’s always you that gives a...

What if I tore up the map - not gentle, but ruthless, ripping until the roads bled white, and let my feet kiss the dirt like they were born to wander? What if I spit out the words I’ve swallowed for years, each syllable a blade, carving silence into something that finally screams back? What if I let the darkness in- not as a foe, but...

Worrying About What If’s Miracle Man November 24th 2023 Many fret about things, before they occur. This tends to drive me, straight up the wall. This practice can cause, my words to slur, Please wait until it happens, before you call. “Worry cannot solve one problem, Or add one cubit to my day. Things in life that I can’t handle Jesus always knows the way” Tom ...

I Want to live this world amazingly But the habit of overthinking Has been making things messy The what ifs are being overpowered The big childhood dreams Are being shattered It's like living in a time loop An unstoppable droll To which I must reroute...

Certainly. There's lotsa stuff that's no more. Certainty, like death, is forever. Change stops when you're dead. Change does just that, keeps changing. You can give up smoking yet you can't give up changing. Gave up smokin' fifty years ago. Cigarettes, ash trays, things of my past. There's something about ashes everyone eventually ends up there. Many of us make ashes of ourselves. These Ifs surely can...

An A.P.* who was filling in To read aloud on Zoom Just grabbed a book his own kids faved And thereby met his doom. The second graders loved it But it didn’t make the cut With his boss, because the title talked Of needing a new butt. The humor’s aimed at children And describes, in certain parts, The different types of derrieres And also talks of...

Staring at the blue imperfections in my eyes like static pops swirls and tweeks wisp creatures contour my eyeballs like another universe unveiled between the what is and what ifs...

I like to drive with the windows down, White noise, To drown out how whack the wheels sound. My mind spits and sputters, Mouth mumbles, Words come out jumbled. I hate the sound of myself, My voice is too choppy, Vocals hella noisy. Audio stimulation, Too much, Overwhelms, Mixed emotions they are hit and miss. Less enthusiasm, Live more, Damnit, Lie less, Succeed more. Why do I hate my right to...

If a poet falls in love with you you will live forever. Atticus Finch - To kill a mockingbird. In the midst of conundrums, of 'what ifs.' I dislike the ocean, its bitter saltiness, brings no joy. Perched safely, upon the highest cliff, watching waves surge upon the shore. They are a constant reminder of how you waved goodbye. Each ripple carried you away -...

Life should never include ifs, ands, or butts Especially the butts, they're made for those who lust There's something about anuses Attached to gorgeous waitresses Maintain your composure, remain calm you must...
