Only If

Only if

Chances are taken, and I may not take enough

The picture is perfectly showing life can be rough

I'm climbing in my mind,

There is nowhere but up

Can I ever succeed?

Do I envision too much?

I want a story with a seamless plot

Only if there were seamless nots

Roadblocks there and here

Wanting them to disappear

Failure makes the story what it is

The color of heartache is true shade indeed

The color of desire is my all time favorite hue

Though oh so tired of wanting

Only if I could see through

To that one time and place

That I do win my race

Standing in first place

I'm ever eager because

That is where I belong

I'm a song

Like a melody

With fire and wits in me

Only if I'm positioned

Do I knock em, rock em, sock em

I can see through

Yet another problem

I am running a race, but slowed to a walk

Only if I walk my talk

Does the good race conclude

Life will exude

You almost did it

Look at you? Look at me

Only if

If only

You had my
