If I knew who I was, would I ask questions of life?
If I knew all the answers, would I still be so precise?

If I watched the leaves fall, would I ever see the snow?
If I held your hand too long, would you want to let go?

If I watched the grass grow, would the park become a jungle?
If the moon rays stopped shining, would the sun be bungled?

If I looked about the stars, would the constellations fade?
If the world were stripped of evil, would a man still hold a blade?

If I watched the rain fall, would the whole world flood?
If my heart were turned to stone, would I still bleed blood?

If lightning never struck the ground, would it make the rain feel lonely?
If a happy moment cost one cent, would it say, "Take one only?"

If a rainbow really did lead to gold, would we never find the end?
If I wrote one million thank-you cards, would I still have more to send?

If I felt the wind blow, would the warmth fade out of me?
If I lived in a world of fog, could I still see?

If a candle really burned forever, would my light still go out?
If we lived in a quiet world, would we still have to shout?

If I knew judgement was coming, would I think about my death wish?
If I saw a drought coming, would I save the smallest fish?

If I watched the sunset too long, would I  go blind?
If I spoke my words too quickly, would I still run out of time?

If I close my eyes to sleep, will I ever see a dream?
If I stitched my own clothes, would I ever miss a seam?

If I lied to myself, would it make the truth sound better?
If I wrote the words perfectly, would I never miss a letter?

If I watched the clock for too long, would time seem to freeze?
If I waited for you to say goodbye, would you never leave?

If I looked too long in a mirror, would my reflection still be there?
If I thought about these things, could I still live without a care?
I wrote this poem for school.
