What if today when the alarm went off
I said, No. That's enough. I can't.
What if the chime of a text on my phone went ignored
or the ring on my phone went to silent.
What if today I can't.
What if today when I get up
I don't plough through, suck it up, take it one day at a time.
What if rather than listening to my brain, I listened to my soul
and found I needed me more than anyone else did.
What if today I was free.
What if today when the sun shone through the window
and the birds chirped, I rejoiced at the thought of a new day.
What if I could follow my truest desires,
wander in nature, lose my watch,
run barefoot in the sand, take a nap under a tree,
read a book in a hammock, journal my deepest thoughts.
What if.
