Track #4 - WHAT IF...

Sometimes I think about

the person I could be…

the things I never tried,

the moments that I didn’t see.

There’s a quiet kind of fear

that follows me at night

the thought that I’ve been walking past

the better parts of life.

And I don’t know why it hits me

harder on these days

when the world is calm around me,

but my heart feels out of place.

What if…

I didn’t choose the better way?

What if all the chances I let go

won’t ever come again?

What if…

I could have been someone I miss

if I had stood up stronger

or fought for more than this?

Sometimes I fear

our lives are just one shot

at who we’re meant to be…

and all the lives I never lived

still whisper back

to me.

There were days I stayed in silence

when I should have found my voice.

Times I walked along with others

when I should have made my choice.

I’ve let people shape my journey

more than I meant them to…

and now I’m scared the road I’m on

is one I didn’t choose.

And it hurts to think how many

open doors I left behind

the ones that might have led me

to another version of my life.

What if…

everything I left undone

was the only light that showed me

who I should become?

What if…

I lost myself along the way

slowly taking smaller steps

until I faded out of frame?

Sometimes it feels

our lives are just one shot

at who we’re meant to be…

and every dream I never tried

keeps echoing

in me.

I keep turning back to moments

that were small, but changed my path

the quiet crossroads in my life

I only understood

too late.

And I wonder if our choices

shape us more than we can see

if the person we become

is built from everything

we were too afraid to be.

What if…

the better me is still inside,

waiting for the strength

I hid so many times?

What if…

it isn’t gone, it’s just unseen

a quiet path I lost somewhere

while trying to stay clean?

Sometimes I hope

there’s still a way

to meet who I could be…

before the last of all my chances

fades into

what if

and me.

We all get only one lifetime…

and sometimes I still fear

my dreams

will stay dreams....
