What If?

What if one day I woke up and this wasn't my life?
I really wouldn't know how to survive.
My whole life would be different.
I wouldn't be able to handle it.

What if everyone I knew didn't know me?
I would tell them, but they wouldn't believe.
I would lose my family and friends that I've made.
All of them would forget and slowly fade.

What if the boy I adore was looking at someone else?
I would be stuck watching all by myself.
He would be softly holding her with care.
It wouldn't matter if I thought it was unfair.

What if the sky dropped?
All the fish only able to flop.
Everyone would be gone and no longer here.
It wouldn't last long enough to register fear.

What if we couldn't enjoy the beauty of nature?
We wouldn't be able to even have a future.
The world would be nothing but corrupt.
Why do we all have to grow up?

What if I deciding to give up and stop writing?
I would take my feelings and go back into hiding.
You wouldn't have to be bothered to read them anymore.
For you all, I could throw my poetry book out of the door.

What if I'm a figment of your imagination?
Just another one of your minds creations.
You would no longer have to care or in my eyes, lie.
Don't worry, I don't need another meaningless goodbye.
