What If?

November 13, 2016

?

What if? A odd, unanswerable question we all ask at least once in our lives.

What if a pencil had feelings?

Would it feel what it wrote?

Could it change the way you comprehend things in your writing?


What if bees were actually just wearing a fuzzy striped coat?

The scientist just didn’t see the zipper

That when they took off their coats…

Bees were actually a bright shade of blue!

 

What if we all have another human trapped inside of us?

Waiting to come out

Only feeling welcome

When you have warmth

Comfort

 

What if  when dogs bark, they’re just calling out to the skies

Calling for help, for Him

Screaming “I need something, anything”

Or “I love you, thank you”

 

What if wrinkles don’t resemble old, but resemble heartache

Each fold, marking a loss, a burden

No wrinkles?

What about scars?

Tears?

 

What if we didn’t question?

Nobody ever wonders anything

It just, is

Say goodbye to new inventions

To knowledge as a whole really

Just say goodbye to humanity

Because creatures  are curious

They Question

 

What If?
