Only If

Folder: 
Philosophizing

I can pretend to be something i'm not, only if i didn't care about who i am

I can have no self-esteem, only if i hated this world and myself

I can bring joy to someone else's life, only if my life is happy

I can choose the right path to follow, only if my trail has been in greatness

I can have feelings towards people i love, only if i'm loved for

I can forget the past, only if the future becomes a goal

I can dream of a world of greatness, only if there was no hate

I can change the way i am and my life, only if it is my own will
