What if I had taken the other road,
Leading me to a different place?
What if I’d made another choice,
That might have brought me peace and grace?
What if I were born in another land,
With different-coloured eyes and skin?
What if I had another family,
With a different set of kith and kin?
What if I had a different face,
One that made everyone smile?
What if I were someone else,
With a style more versatile?
What if I were given a second chance,
To live out these other what-ifs?
Would I find my perfect self,
Saved from some unseen cliffs?
