What if...?
December 3, 2017
What if pigs could fly?
How many bets would be lost?
Do people actually make that bet?
Or would there be a terrible cost?
What if there was nobody watching?
A world without stress.
We could do whatever we want,
No need to impress.
What if I didn’t care about you?
I could actually live my life.
Follow my dreams without being jealous,
Continue to live free of strife.
What if I had control?
Over the lies in my brain?
I could finally relax,
And be free of this pain.
