WHAT IF


 

What if I was a guy , 

What if I was gay , 

What if I was fat , 

What if I was ugly , 

What if I was pretty , 

What if I was skinny, 

What if I was white , 

What if I was Africa America, 

What if I was asian , 

What if I was Haitian , 

What if I was Puerto Rican , 

What if I was carrying a gun , 

What if I was a gang banger , 

What if I cane from a broken home , 

What if I was never welcomed ,

What if I was never wanted , 

What if I was never loved , 

What if I was dead , 

What if I get hit by a car , 

What if I loose my leg , 

What if I loose a child , 

What if I’m damaged, 

What if I’m destroy , 

What if I can’t heal , 

What if I can’t be happy , 

What if I can’t love , 

What if I don’t follow my dreams , 

What I didn’t put my foot in front of the other , 

What if I just gave up , 

What if I just stop trying , 

What if I go crazy , 

What if I loose my mind , 

What if I can’t keep my cool , 

What if I can’t go on , 

What if I can’t find my way , 

What if I’m lost forever , 

What if today is my last day , 

What if I don’t make it , 

What if my writing don’t take off , 

What if I’m not as strong as I think iam , 

What if I took on way more than I can handle , 

What if Im always rushing things . 

What if I’m always moving to fast , 

What if everything that happen to me is my fault , 

What if my mother walking out on me was my fault, 

What if my father keeping me distance was my fault , 

What if nobody was ever happy around because I was the one to blame ,

What if the family stop fucking with because I’m to much of a fuck up
