If I Were Poem About A Mermaid


This contemplative If I Were poem invites reflection on transcending your circumstances through transformation. A mermaid's existence appears to be unencumbered because of the sheer vastness of the sea, yet couldn't your own life be similar?  Unresolved matters anchor us down, preventing our fullest expression.

Imagine yourself as a mermaid with all of the attributes you would like to embody, and know that they already exist within you. Don't wait for that perfect "someday." Go for your dreams today! 


If I Were Poem About A Mermaid



If I Were A Mermaid


If I were a mermaid I would know within me
Lies a power and a force as big as the sea
I would dive where the bottom is smooth and clear
Knowing that I'd find safety here
If I lose my way I would follow the tides
And change course until confusion subsides

If I were a mermaid I would know what to do
Life's frustrations would not throw me askew
Turbulent currents would not alter my plans
My track I would follow through shifting sands
I'd stick to my purpose and reach my goals
As easily as swimming onto shallow shoals

If I were a mermaid I would like myself
And dust off the dreams that I've stored on a shelf
Others' opinions would no longer build like a dam
Holding me back from doing all that I can
I would burst forth like a river in pursuit of the sea
And become the best version of who I want to be

If I were a mermaid I would hold the key
To unlock the treasures buried deep within me
