What If

I have a life of one that I am proud

But why is it that I always go back

Back to those two simple words

What if

Those words haunt me in my dreams

They constantly enter my thoughts

Everything happens for a reason

Or does it not

So many times

So many situations

I could have made a choice

The choice that I left behind

Would things be different

Would my life be more complete

Why do I live in the past

Dwelling on the choices I made

Is there reason behind my doubts

Should I have chose another path

Since I’m always left wondering

What if

The what if, leave us wishing for things not said or maybe we should of done. A excellent poem. I quit dwelling on the past mistakes and now I hope I'm more kinder and gentle. Life is a twisted journey. The What if's appear to haunt the mind. A excellent poem.

We all wonder about our decisions. I enjoyed this poem because you
captured so many feelings. You said it all...when it's so easy to leave
things out. The strangest thing about this poem is that I get a sense of
happiness. This could easily have become dark, but I got a feeling of
optimism from it.

I hate those 'what if' thoughts. They haunt me too. It seems they never go away. You just have to try to push them out of your mind the best you can when they come to torment you. You have a very excellent write here. I really love it.

Yup, I used to think that way too. Now I think of things as water under the bridge and long gone in the current of life. We can either move on and try harder with goals and concentration, or lye in the same place and watch the supposed flotsam pass by. I choose the repitition of positive thoughts.

Such things to ponder on i think alot of people have been here. Well written and expressed!

What if, you didn't take the risk in life?
What if, you didn't see the times?
What if, you could just see through mist?
What if ... you took that biggest risk?

I liked it.
it was nicely written. You kept me drawn into the poem word after word.

Oh I think we all travel here time to time and for good reason... in the end everyday we must make choices, some small and some large and since life is not a given we never know the effects if chosen differently... I can really relate to what you said here.
