What if

A knot within, a tightening hold, A story whispered, often told. The breath grows shallow, heart beats fast, A shadow lingers, built to last. What if? What if? The questions rise, Reflecting fears in worried eyes. A world of worries, dark and deep, Where silent monsters softly creep. But even shadows fade with light, And dawn will come to end the night. Breathe in, breathe out, and feel the ground, A moment's peace can still be found.
