What if, you have never been

Tried and failed, the bell rang, and you answered
What if, there is nothing about you that I am enamored

Tried and failed, you stuck your nose in it
What if, your cup, there's nothing in it

Tried and failed, your value is in your experience
What if, any way you slice it, you make no sense

Tried and failed, you will reach your dream
What if, you never came to the arena

Tried and failed, you are battled tested, and I approve

Fox this is terrific! Great all the way, short and sweet, and important all the same!

This definitely reminds me of a couple people in how they look at me, with me being the what if, but I see myself as the first, just only in the aspects of love, and interpersonal experiences. Some of the ones I'm drawn to fit in both categories, and still, I love them both all the same.

What an interesting coincidence to find this poem. My lady friend falls into the latter, while I(compared to her, fall in the first), somewhere inbetween. :)

interesting presentation, ying/yang, ambitious/uninspired,
lived life/watched life style that makes your reader ponder
their own life, values, style, beliefs....

hugs n' love nessa
