as I lie awake thinkin of what might be
I see what has been
the people I've meet
the ones I've avoided
the ones that have past
and the ones right here with me
I think about choices I've made
good and bad
I wonder what if I made a left instead of a right
what if I did make it there on time
what if I did talk to that one person I was staring at
what if I said yes to that question
would my life be different
and how much different would it be
would I have a lot of money or would I be dead broke
what if I folded that one hand
would I have gotten a better one
what would life be without doubt
would it be that much better
can we as humans accept a life with no doubts
could we handle perfection
or would we question it
I wonder if that person I think is my match really is
what if all this time and effort I'm spending gets me nothing in return
am I really looking for something in return
if I'm not should I be
is that human nature
to expect a return
am I even deserving of anything in the first place
if not who is
maybe these thoughts I should keep to myself
but I need to share what I believe to be the honest truth
we all contradict ourselves
it just depends how much or little we do
so I hope when this is read you realize these thoughts are shared by everyone around you
we all wonder what if...
