What If...

What If…
By Amber Edgett

What if,
I could withstand the day
Not ever caring
About love in that special way.

What if,
My talent would shine.
Every time they read my poems
I would earn another dime.

What if,
My mother knew what it was like
To get through everyday
Having tears to fight.

What if,
Everyone could see
You get nowhere in life
Not even trying to succeed.

What if,
The world could be
An un harmful, safe place
Where everyone could live in harmony.

What if,
I were allowed to be “just” me.
Maybe then…
Maybe my true self could be seen.

What if…
