What If? Poem by caci Mattingly

What If?

Rating: 5.0


Every day I wake up,
And I think about the worlds what ifs,
What if I wasn't me?
What if everybody didn't have to leave?
What if I could change everything?
What if it was meant to be?
What if...
Everyone always says what if,
But no one ever does their what ifs
If everyone tried, maybe we would all be happy,
But no we all just think what if?

What if I took the job?
What if I was successful?
what if I'm not worth it?
What if My dreams could come true?
What if...
Why can't we all stop saying what if,
And do the things we want
Just go out and get the things we want,
Just be happy and successful?

I think that everyone should just get up and do it
Go get the things we want,
And when we have a dream or a wish,
Don't just think What if I did that
Or what if I got that
Just get up and do it, or go get it,
Because you are worth it.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was inspired by my own what ifs. I used to always think to myself what if, but one day I stopped thinking what if I and I started thinking I will and I can. When you read this poem I hope that you stop thinking what if, and you start thinking I will do that or I can do that like me. If you have any constructive criticism or stories about your what ifs I hope you will leave them in the comments or send me a message, and I hope you guys like my poems.
