What If?

What If? What if I can't ? What If I can? What I should be thinking Is it in God’s plan?

What if could't ? What if I could? Then I start to wonder If I really should?

What if I would't? What if I would? What would I do, If others really understood?

What if , I am beautiful, Just as I am. That a scale means nothing, When talking to a human.

What if , I am worthy of love, Just by being alive What If , I don’t have to prove myself Or feel ashamed to cry?

What if , By some chance, All my negative thoughts were wrong. That I am free to sing and dance, That I am not weak or strong.

What if, I did not make excuses, I simply threw them out the door. What if, I started getting honest, and I started at my core.

What If…

When I am living in the present, there is no reason for me to fear, the what if's that surround me and the negativity that is near. When I am in the here and now and take some time to breathe, I realize that anything is possible, as long as I believe.
