What If I Go?—A Poem About Leaving, Dreams, and Finding Truth

A soul-searching poem that explores the fear, freedom, and hope in leaving—asking if chasing dreams means losing or rediscovering yourself.

What if I go and never comeback?
Would you still smile or fade into black?
What if I go and stay on the track?
Will you be proud or just hold me back?
What if I go and follow my dreams?
Will it be what it seems or just tear at the seams?
What if I go and fall on the way?
Will I rise again or drift away?
What if I go and don't say goodbye?
Will you search for me or question me why?
What if I go and the silence grounds?
Will you call my name or let it bound?
What if I go where no one knows?
Will I find peace or feel the throes?
What if I go and become someone new?
Will you recognize me or lose me too?
So if I disappear in the blue,
Know that I left to find what's true.
So if I disappear in the blue,
Remember that every step still leads to you.
