POEM: If Only
What could have been
What is and will be
So much better
If only…
If only the word “if” was never known
If only our young minds had never grown
If only we knew the art of getting by
If only without pain we could survive
If only our fears were never true
If only time wouldn’t part us two
If only the truth didn’t hurt so much
If only lies were always enough
If only feelings were more than a touch
If only we could escape from this hutch
If only the rain could hide our tears
If only the sky was a little clear
If only freedom was more than a word
If only we could fly like a bird
If only we all had our own throne
If only the word “if” was never known
