poem ~ what if

What if you said
all the words you wanna say?

What if you felt 
all the feelings you keep shoving away?

What if you asked
all the questions you think?

What if you voiced
all the doubts in your head?

What if you admitted
all the hurts that have ripped your heart?

What if you expressed 
all the desires that fill your heart?

What if you listened to
all the dreams calling you?

What if you embraced
all of your life that's happened to you?

What if you told
all the secrets you won't share?

What if you took a risk on
all the risks that you've skipped?

What if you entertained 
all the stirrings you won't trust?

What if you didn't keep hidden
all the parts you won’t reveal to us?

What if you weren't 
all afraid to be you?

What if you didn't deny
all the power in you?

What if you believed 
all the truth fully about you?

What if you loved yourself 
all the way others do you?

What if you could see 
all the beauty you are internally?
