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? What If?
