My Poems [Completed]

What Would Happen

Some of these take forever to write, some of these take five minutes.

When they take forever, it's because I can't think, nothing's happened, or because I'm actually quite happy and my depressed things won't flow.

When they take five minutes, it's because something's actually happened and I use that to help me write.

I should really try to write happier things.

Also, I don't really know if this has a trigger warning.

What would happen

If we were all bound

Scared to speak out

Scared because we're not sound?

What would happen

If words had an obvious effect

On people we know

Because of our spoken dialect?

What would happen

If we never really cared

About what people said

With thoughts that are layered?

What would happen

If no one could see

That fact that people

Could be like me?

What would happen

If everyone was deaf

So we would have to understand

That everyone's left?

What would happen

If we couldn't speak

Another word

Another leak?

What would happen

If death was the cure

For anything and everything

As long as it's pure?

What would happen

If we were left to fend

For ourself in a world

So full of dread?

What would happen

If everyone died

Would we be okay

Or would we be out of our minds?

What would happen

If words had no meaning

So everyone had to

Deal with endless beating?

What would happen

If one close to you pulled away

So sudden, so unnatural

That you couldn't get a say?

What would happen

If someone started showing up with scars

Would you ask them why

Or would you keep letting them harm?

What would you do

If you fell in love

Would your person change

Or would you just say, "Oh."?

What would you do in my place?
