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

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…...

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.

Sindhu Gopalkrishnan
I love writing as I get to create something beautiful and touch others with my words in the process. I love the fact that I can create a whole new world, something no one else has ever seen. Writing helps me to escape reality and create new realities. At times, I also write stuff in those stories that I can never muster the courage to say in real life. It's my safe space. I can write whatever I am feeling and I can let it all out. It's also very therapeutic to me..
