If Only

This is a poem, it expresses how I feel when I'm in my room crying, how I feel so bad and awful.

If only

I wasn't on my own,

in a world

solitary, lonely.

If only

I wasn't busy,

then I could

do the things I don't have time to do.

If only

I wasn't so dumb,

I could be

everything everyone expects of me.

If only

I was perfect,

then I would be

everything I want to be.

Author's Note

Do you ever feel like this, too?

If only,
I wasn't on my own,
In this world,
Unknowing of what lonely can be.

If only,
I wasn't busy,
then I could,
have time to be a different busy.

If only
I wasn't so dumb,
I could be
everything everyone cannot be.

If only
I was perfect
then I would be
not writing this poem of me.

Yes. I am Hannah. Why the "but"?

If only I could write as inspiring as this, I could be better at poetry. If I created another writing and referenced you, I could say it illustrates my 'if onlys' as good as they could be.

[I did create that writing, so please view it and give me your best feedback! Thanks!]

I saw it, Megan. It's wonderful but may be a little too similar, but thank you for the credit! :)
