If Only is the neighborhood bully
who lives on the wrong side of Yesterday.
He'll shove Happiness off the sidewalk
with shoulders of should've.
He'll knock Contentment down
with arms of could've.
He'll beat up Peace of Mind
with fists of would've.
If you give an inch he'll take Misery
and smear you with it.
But throw the Book at him
and he'll leave you alone.
Stand up straight,
look him in the mean,
Kick him in the coward,
and he'll limp back to the past,
while you jump the rope that held you back a grade.
