If Only

Location

If only we could put the lonely girl with the lonely boy

Fix the hurt

Make the used feel less like a toy

…………………………………………………………………..

If only the dying didn’t feel so alone

The poor would be fed

The lost would have a place to call home

………………………………………………………………………

If only pain wasn’t real

Scars were hidden

The paralyzed could feel

……………………………………………………………..

If only we didn’t surround ourselves with so much hate

The world is a bold coward

Just like fish to the bait

……………………………………………………………..

If only if only these wishes came true

There would no longer be hatred

Just a peaceful world surrounding me and you

………………………………………………………….

-Ashley Knight
