If...

If I could be anyone

Anyone under the sun

I would be in fresh skin

I wouldn't be anyone who has been

I'd be a new creation

Nothing that would cause damnation

People would look up to me

People would actually love me

But I didn't get to choose my cards from the deck

So I got a s****y hand. Now I'm a wreck

I have to play with the hand I was given

You never know. I just might win.

Awesome.. Love it when I'm reading someone's thoughts and lose track of time.. Your words gives me brain freeze, helping me chill, becoming lost in some fresh thoughts.. Nice write!!

If you could be anyone, be you. The grass always seems greener on the other side, until you get there and find that someone else has already started chomping on it. :)

It was pretty much saying that I was asked 'if you could be anybody, who would you be'....I decided to create something new and unknown.

No one gets to chose the card yet we all go on, keep moving.

Commendable work

Man the last stanza just gave fuel to keep studying xD It's very inspiring.
What a poem you have here, and the last line? Full of power.
Great piece of work you have here, I enjoyed reading this :)

The poems you write are very emotional. I really enjoy how your poems are short but very impacting at the same time. You manage to get both your point across and your emotions out in a very efficient manner. I like it.

Just had this conversation with my best friend who is in the hospital.
Hope you all enjoy!
