What if


Yeah I’ll go!

Or maybe not?

What if I do?

 

But what if it goes wrong?

What if I fall and fail and embarrass myself

What if they think I’m stupid or weird or ugly

Maybe they already do.

What if

 

But what if I’m actually wanted?

What if

 

But what if not

 

The voices battle on

My heart is tearing into pieces

Hope is rising in aspiration

What if I am need, loved, and missed

 

But what if not
