Weight of Words

What If

What if I wasn't so pessimistic?
What if I made choices with
a mindset that this wasn't it?

What if I could openly express myself?
What if instead of drinking alcohol,
I left the bottle on the shelf?

What if I smiled more?
What if I went out instead
of hiding behind a closed door?

What if I was more confident instead of shy?
What if I learned to take a compliment instead of thinking it's a lie?

What if I could look in the mirror and not hate the woman staring back at me?

Nobody saw
that title coming I bet...
