Who Would I Be?

Who would i be, if i was fearless?
i wonder.

Would i be more daring,
If i didn’t fear making mistakes?
Would i be more adventurous,
If i didn’t fear getting stuck in unpleasant places?
Would i be more fun loving,
If i didn’t fear being shamed?

Who would i be, if i didn’t fear pain?
i wonder.

How would i live life,
if uncertainty didn’t frighten me?
If losing my spouse to death,
didn’t scare so much?
Or the thought of my child suffering, didnt crumble me in an instant?
Or even if my own dying,
didn’t seemed so unthinkable?

Who would i be, if i didn’t fear suffering?
i wonder.

If i was unscathed by pain,
And untouched by suffering,
Who would i be?
Would i still be human?
Would i think the same thoughts that whirl in my head?
Or would my mind be still, as a lofty mountain?
Would i feel pain, and yet not suffer?
Would i be trapped in my body,
and still be free to wander realms undiscovered?

Who would i be, if i was fearless?
i wonder.
