Would It Be?

Would things be different

If time was reversed

Back to the beginning

The start of where

It all went wrong

Would things be different

If choices were changed

Alternate pathways

Leading to new and

Unfamiliar destinations

 

Would things be different

If my sense of self

Was based on love

Instead of fear

And distrust

Would things be different

If, like ‘Sliding Doors’

One single moment

A life changing

Opportunity was missed

 

Would I be different

If history was erased

If I could start anew

A fresh beginning

With all that I know

Would I be different

Or remain the same

The guiding hand

Of fate determining

My final destiny.
