What If? (Written by Black Rose)


We as humans always seem to be playing a "what if?" game.
You can't turn back time, you can't push pause, there are no "redos".
Well what if I hadn't done that?
Or what if I hadn't of said that?
Well we will never know.

Life is what you make of it.
No matter how bad you want to take back something,
You really can't back track time.
You take the situation and go from there.

And though you may say "What if??"
Maybe it was meant to be.
Everything happens for a reason.
We may not like the outcome,
but it's what we've got.
Take it or leave it.

And yes we all wish we could 'rewind'.
We all wish we would have said or done something differently then what we did.
But life is unfair, unpredictable and untame.
But hey that's life.

Answer these if you'd like .
What if: I hadn't said that?
What if: We all were the same?
What if: There was no tomorrow?
What if: We never told the ones we loved we loved them?
What if: I was 10 again?

The list is endless.
SO stop playing "what if?" and live for today.
You can only hurt for so long...

It must be a female family trate, or something along that line...
Mom use to write, gram wrote,I now write, my daughter (if I have one) will most likly write to.
I find it a way to heal, helps me when I'm not feeling myself.
I'm debating making a blog of my own with my peoms and such, but I'm not sure...

Truer words have not been written... wonderful thoughts put to paper...

Life is truly a puzzle and many times we are searching for the missing piece... oh yes it continues for a lifetime...

oh and "Don't stop writing"!!!

Thanks Gwen, just a few things that one of my friends and I where talking about one night... I've written many things in the past, but have either misplaced them or have put them in the trash. There are very few people I let read my peoms... if you where to go through my peoms and such you would see a patteren start to become clear. Happy times I don't write (as much), confused/upset/sad/mad I write (ALOT)... Some people think I should give it up, or only write about the "happy times", my answer to them was "life isn't a bowl of cherries, so why would I pretend it was??"

Black Rose - I appreciate that you allowed me to post this for you. I have had the privelge of reading some of your writings and these too help me to better understand you. Thank you for sharing.

Life isn't a bowl of cherries (there are sometimes lots of 'pits'), but for a person your age - you have had a few more 'knock abouts' then others.

Keep your head high (but not in the clouds) and continue to rationalize things.

We love you! Thank you for being you.

A few more, but I know of others who have had more then I... I am lucky to find a way to "escape", some can't, and before anyone realises things go bad, I've seen it too many times with my friends... far too many times, I am the one they call, which is a catch 22 for me, I love to help, but I always find a way to hurt myself while helping others... I take things to heart and I don't let go easily.
