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.
