Only a Word
IF
The one word,
In the world,
That hinders a straight answer.
IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can keep you from achieving something great.
IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can keep a child from trying something new.
IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can keep someone from dreaming.
IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can smolder a flicker of hope.
IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can ruin your life,
IF you listen to it.
