What if? By Sue Ellson https://sueellson.com/blog/what-if What if you believed they loved you Not hated you What if you believed they cried for you Not laughed at you What if you believed they spoiled you Not denied you What if you believed they empowered you Not controlled you What if you believed they heard you Not ignored you What if you believed they appreciated you Not frustrated you What if you believed they adored you Not admonished you What if you hated them Not loved them What if you laughed at them Not cried for them What if you denied them Not spoiled them What if you controlled them Not empowered them What if you ignored them Not heard them What if you frustrated them Not appreciated them What if you admonished them Not adored them Is now the time To believe something different To do something different To be something different To look through new eyes To see a new truth To see yourself in others To see others in you Can you believe the best? Can you accept the rest? In yourself? In others? Then simply ask, what if? #whatifpoem #whatifpoetry #sueellson #sueellsonpoem #poem #poetry
