life
EdwardDurden

If you could change your thoughts.
 1
If you could change your taste.
 2
If you could change your mind, your life and your friends,
 3
Could you change your entire existence?
 4
 
 
Should something come into your way.
 5
Should something block your view.
 6
Should you become a victim of circumstance,
 7
Would you be forced to change?
 8
 
 
Life is not a steady thing.
 9
It reels you in and out.
 10
The slightest thing could change your mood...

this has a nice rhythm.  it seems like it should rhyme...

if you could change your thoughts,
your taste,
your mind, your life, your friends
could you change your entire existence?
-7 syllable line here that i can't think of that rhymes with friends-

should something come into your way,
should something block your view,
and you become the vicctim of circumstance,
would you change the way you ... dance? (dance is a horrible example, but again i can't think of a rhyme)

life is not a steady thing.
it reels you all about.
the slightest thing could change you mood...
no condom can keep life out.


i nearly rewrote this, so maybe it's not what you were going for anymore...
