If only I had been brave
Filled with strength and courage
I wouldn’t have gone to my grave
As a man mediocre and average
If only I had dared
To follow my visions and dreams
In my grave I would have been spared
The regret that my visions were only daydreams
If only I had the nerve
To not give up in difficult times
My life wouldn’t have taken the normal curve
And would have been marked with success lines
If only I had the mettle
To persist until I reached the goal
I wouldn’t have had to settle
For a life mediocre as a whole
If only I had been audacious
To take the path less travelled
I wouldn’t have died as a man anonymous
With dreams unfulfilled and a life failed
If only I had been bold
To fight even in the face of misfortune
My life would have been better manifold
Instead of being filled with lack of fortune
If only I had been fearless
And had conquered all my fears
My life would have been happy and boundless
Instead of ending up in a volley of tears
In the end I realized
That a life without courage is nothing
To be rich, great and immortalized
I had to be strong, fearless and daring
