Nobody knows what you would
have said, but held back
Nobody knows what silent
struggles their neighbors have overcome
Nobody knows how many accidents
have been prevented,
How many deaths you would have
experienced but didn’t
How many times our lives could
have been overturned
Nobody knows what cancers they
didn’t get
Or who didn’t break their
hearts because they didn’t meet
Nobody knows how much hatred
and insecurity we hide behind our fronts
Nobody knows what would have
happened if they took Irving street instead of Harvard to get to Michigan Ave
that one night
Nobody knows the worlds we make
up in our minds
Nobody knows the tomorrow that
may have been
Nobody knows what beauty they
would have experienced in life
But didn’t,
So there would be space for the
one that was intended to be.
