If only I was brave enough,

I could face all the words they hurl at me.

If only I wasn't such a coward,

I wouldn't run away from the nightmares chasing me.

If only I was had the brains and knowledge,

I could answer all their questions they ask me.

If only I wasn't such a complete failure,

I could strive through all the mistakes made without falling back down.

If only I wouldn't just mope around like a lost soul,

I would challenge my problems head on and strong.

If only I didn't wear a cheery mask everywhere I go,

I wouldn't be the hollow person I am within.

If only I could be like her,

I'd strive towards success so much easier.

If only I was creative like them,

I would feel more upbeat and happier!

But my only wish is that:

If only, I could be like the true one I am.
