IF
The one word,
In the world,
That hinders a straight answer.

IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can keep you from achieving something great.

IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can keep a child from trying something new.

IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can keep someone from dreaming.

IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can smolder a flicker of hope.

IF
The one word,
In the world,
That can ruin your life,

IF you listen to it.
