Freeing My Life

from the Shackles of 'If"

Embracing 'What Is' Over 'What If'

If only I could remove "if" from my life's grand stage,

'd dance through existence, unburdened by cage.

No ifs, ands, or buts, just the freedom to be

In a world without doubt, where I'm truly me.

No "what ifs" to haunt me, no worries in sight,

Each moment a treasure, each day pure delight.

No hesitation, no questions, no shadows to chase,

ust a life without "if," full of grace.

I'd embrace the unknown with open arms wide,

No second-guessing, no need to hide.

For "if" is the specter that holds us in place,

A mask we wear daily, a burdensome trace.

I'd leap without bounds, take chances untamed

In a world without "if," my spirit unchained.

No limits, no barriers, just dreams to pursue

In a life without "if," the sky's not the view.

With "if" cast aside, I'd write my own fate,

No destiny altered, no heart left to wait.

Each sunrise a promise, each sunset a vow,

In this world without "if," I'd be living right now.

But alas, "if" is part of the human design,

A constant companion, a tie that won't unwind.

So I'll learn to embrace it, to use it with care,

In a life full of "ifs," I'll find magic to share.

For "if" can inspire, it can challenge and drive,

In the tapestry of life, it's what makes us strive.

So let's not remove it, but wield it with grace,

In a world full of "ifs," let's create our own space.
