If I Could Say Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

If I could Say
Pravat Kumar Mandal

If I could say my life my favourite,
I would be the happiest in this earth.
If I could say my decision was right,
My life would be full with heavenly mirth.

If I could say my wish was the last word,
My range of happiness would be boundless
If I could say I maintained my standard,
My beauty would be tangible no less.

If I could say what belongs to me not yours,
My soul would take fresh air with heart's content
If I could say the words came out of the core,
Surely it'd be the most entertainment.

Then you'd contempt me for being selfish
And throw me from your heart as rubbish.
