What If? - The Poem

In the quiet of the night, when all is still, Two words emerge, with a power to thrill. "What if?" they whisper, like a ghostly breeze, Stirring the depths of our memories. In the land of regrets, they take their flight, Unearthing moments hidden from the light. They dance with our dreams, a tantalizing waltz, Leaving us pondering, with our innermost faults. What if I had dared to follow my heart's desire, Instead of treading paths safe, but uninspired? What if I had spoken the words left unsaid, Would they have echoed with joy or with dread? They summon us to the past, where moments reside, Where choices were made, and feelings denied. They haunt us with visions of what could have been, As we navigate a world that's seldom seen. But "What if?" is not just an omen of sorrow, It's a catalyst for change, a brighter tomorrow. It challenges our fears, inspires us to explore, To take chances, be bold, and seek something more. So, when "What if?" comes knocking at your door, Don't cower in fear, don't be haunted anymore. Embrace its power, let it be your guide, To a life lived fully, with nothing to hide. For in those two words lies a profound truth, A reminder of the vigor within our youth. "What if?" is a question, a journey's start, A new chance to follow the whispers of your heart.
