if only

if only

A Poem by Adesanya Yewande
"

if only all my ifs could come true, if

"
If only you could love me for me
And not think of my appearance,
If only wishes are horse
And all my wishes granted

If only the world is not full of wickedness
Everyone kind and  gentle,
If only i can turn back the hand of time
I did correct all my mistakes

If only there is nothing like death
And we all live together forever,
If only people meant  what they say
Then they  wont be lie

If only i knew what my heart was telling me
Then i wouldn't make a  mistake
If only all the ifs are possible
If only.

The way that it was written, with the bold aspect, I found it hard to read but maybe that was just me. Other than that, it was well done.

Ah! the questions that we all have in our heart and mind at certain point of our life... but the sad part is that these ifs can never be true...very thought provoking write...

truly though provoking and sad that the ifs are never going to happen
Wow...Adesanya...the title grabbed my attention. It's a very powerful, moving poem that everyone can relate to. Who hasn't thought... "if only..." This is going to stay in my mind for a long time to come.
Lovely piece :)

Can't give-up. Wishes can come true.
I wouldn't be the correct person to review because I myself struggle with longer versions of poems.
But the title was so wisely chosen. :)

No problem, friend!
it would certainly be wonderful if all those 'if'ss' could come true wouldn't it, a lovely thought...maybe minus the death one..I'm already sick of myself..i couldn't deal with being stuck with me forever..neither could my partner haha...lovely flow of truths, a few errors but non that interferred with the flow or jist of the poetry for me, well done good work :)
