What if?

What if.

It's a scary phrase,
Full of possibilities.

What if.

Two words
That are so terrifying,
Yet hold nothing certain,
Nothing true;
Purely filled with
Fears and regrets.

But how should it be that
Two words
Can hold us back so much,
Have so much influence over our lives?

So.

What now?

Shall I take the risk
Or
Hide behind a safety blanket of false promises?

I could try,
I suppose,
But...

What if?
