Life, with every twist and turn Its lessons that we rarely learn Diverging pathways, Instant choices Doubts, regrets with nagging voices Our hindsight translates hieroglyph The haunting taunting of 'what if...?' What if I'd gone the other way Wherever would I be today? Who would I love, where would I be What version would I be of me? Might I be happy with another? Might I even be a mother? Would I be a huge success or maybe just a ****** up mess? Would demons still live in my head ? Might I be a long time dead? These answers I will never know that's just the way our lives must go I cannot see. I cannot look To see the path I never took.

What if...
Life, with every twist and turn Its lessons that we rarely learn Diverging pathways, Instant choices Doubts, regrets with nagging voices Our hindsight translates hieroglyph The haunting taunting of 'what if...?' What if I'd gone the other way Wherever would I be today? Who would I love, where would I be What version would I be of me? Might I be happy with another? Might I even be a mother?

These answers I will never know that's just the way our lives must go I cannot see. I cannot look To see the path I never took.
