The terror of the unknown

Have you ever felt like something horrible was gripping you tight, not letting go, leaving little breathing space… But the tears are always ready to spill, right? No matter how little breathing space

The world is full, the world is full, the world is full of What if’s.
What if we die? What if we cry? What if we live?
Will they be blithe? Will they be sad?
The world is full, the world is full, the world is full of what if’s!
What if we fail? What if we pass?
What if we don’t? What if we do?
The world is full, the world is full, the world is full of what if’s!
The truth be told, the world is full.
The world is full, of wishes and stitches,
Of expectations and explanations,
The world is full of What if’s!..

[The dark story]

that's very true, everyone thinks like that "what if'"
yeah, i did felt like that many times. yet i try hard not to cry, as it makes me feel heavier than before and that's something that i despise! actuallty ,thee world is a mystery box. we are not telepath who could see the outcome of anything. knowing that it's beyond us, we still ruminate over it..harder and harder!
Rudyard Kipling has said that we should not let our thoughts dominate over our actions! we ruminate a lot on this "what if's" and sometimes it actually becomes "A LOT" to carry out anything. for an instance, if one wants to acquire his or her own aspiration which his family or society doesn't approves for...then with this fear of "What if's"...they looses their hope and decline their desire!
it's okay within limit...but beyond it...it's nasty!
thanks for sharing this piece with us!

I agree, Atiba. There's a lot going on in our lives, and all of us have got enough on our plate without going crazy over the what if's. Thankyou for the review.

The what Ifers and wishers rarely get out of bed. I know you mentioned that English was not your first language, I have to say I could not tell by your wonderful writing. English is also my wife's second language as a teacher she also speaks a third Math! That language I do not speak at all. I hope to see more of your writing soon.

That's true! And thank you.. I speak math too:) but well, not much now.
