Finalist in the 'Just Keep Writing 2019' competition

What a wonderful phrase, sends you into a daze
Allows you to live, What if?
Creates and destroys love, what dreams are made of
Starts and ends a tiff, What if?
Kept to self, a sign of doubt, a new door opens when said aloud
Can be a curse or a gift, What if?
Success is believed, progress is achieved
The joy it can give, What if?
Sparks the imagination, with originality and creation
The source of bliss, What if?
The turning point in a movie, or life, or a book that you read
Not an exaggeration, nor a myth, What if?
To rid the tension, start with this sentence,
Just one simple question, a thoughtful intention
To go ahead and think, What if?
