What If?

What If?
It's a question that probes us all yet sometimes we tend to push it to the back of our mind
It's a question to a question that we want answered
yet we never seem to really think about how "what if?" came to happen
What if?
Is a question we ask ourselves when we think about what we've did wrong
what we wanted to do and achieve
and why we didn't do it
many folks go through life thinking. . ."What if?"
But the real reason we've come to this question is because we are sometimes ignorant of each others feelings, or we care too much about what other people think
or we are held back by our own insecurities
When we are ignorant of other people's feelings and we then recognize the hurt that we have caused
we then begin asking the question "what if" to ask ourselves how we could have approached things a different way and in a more reasonable manner
When we care too much about other people's opinion and tend to set aside our on thoughts
this question comes into play again
the question continues to ponder our thoughts
and we then find ourselves feeling stupid because we didn't follow after our dreams or do them the way that we wanted it to be done
when we are held back by our own insecurities we aren't giving ourselves a chance to experience the inevitable and let us see where our wildest creations and dreams can lead us
we have to learn to take chances in life instead of being the only pillar that's standing in our way
To avoid this question to a question we have to go back to the source again and ask "what if"
before you ever go against your own judgement
before we say hurtful things or do things we may later regret
we must also remember that every decision we make has a consequence and a repercussion and it can be good or bad and learn to make the right one so we will never be able to ask the question that everyone is so familiar with, and just think "What if" you made the right choice? Then you'd never have to ask that question again
