Extended

If I didn't have school
I could paint all day
                cover every wall
                      every inch
                         with a piece of my mind
I could get enough sleep
                 avoid coffee
                     avoid tea
                        avoid sugar
                           and diabetes along with it
I could try cooking
                 learn to survive
                    learn to stand
I could keep up with the news
                 do something about it
I could tell stories
                 share my thoughts
I could play music
                  share my soul
I could have a dog
                and a cat
                  to be friends with my guinea pig
I could go out
                  enjoy the Autumn weather
                    before the snow hits
                      or not
I could rest my soul
                  my mind wouldn't hurt
I could rest my body
                  my back wouldn't hurt
                     my arm wouldn't hurt
I could read
                every book
I could learn
                every opinion
I could do sports
                get healthy
                    get fit
                       so I don't die early
                         so I don't have the back of a 30 year old
                            anymore
If I had time
I would stay in bed
I would feed my stomach
                and my soul
I would live
I would feel alive
I would heal
If I had time
I could master every skill
I could master myself
I could master the world
If I had time
