What If

What if I simply were a story
My years spelt out on every line 
Would I read and be proud of my life? 
Or would I wish I’d had more time?

What if I wrote myself a fairytale 
No hatred, pain, or crime
Am I a princess or a peasant?
Or am I something more divine?

What if I made myself a movie 
Would I surely be a hit?
Or would another person’s rating 
Simply make me want to quit

What if I drew myself a picture 
Made it everything I’m not
Would I wish that I could have it all?
 Or give thanks for what I’ve got?

What ifs are great to play pretend 
Like stars are great for wishing 
But life is short and will pass by 
So I’m glad I’m here existing
