Not Necessarily Poem by Gerry Freeman

If I could tell all the fools that I've ever known
Just exactly what I think of them,
If I could speak my mind instead of biting my tongue
I do believe I'd feel more like a man,
But then again,
Not necessarily.

If I could right all the wrongs that I've ever done,
Start afresh with a clean new sheet,
Then I could drop this weight I've carried for so long
And all my sad mistakes would I Hell repeat.
But then again,
Not necessarily.

In my heart of hearts, I know it's true.
Somehow, something tells me I've failed the test
And there's no telling what I might've got to do
If I hadn't settled for second best.
But then again,
Not necessarily.
