What if you let go?

What if you let go,
You let go of what binds you to Earth?
Would gravity pull you down,
or would you still continue on your way,
to nowhere?

What if you let go,
Let go of hope in a battlefield,
you let yourself get shot,
And die?

If you were scared,
scared to let go of yourself,
And yet so curious,
on what would happen,
Would you let go?
Could you let go,
of everything you own,
or could have owned?

Letting go of life,
That is a tough thing to ask of a man,
but its necessary.
What if you let go?
What if.

Hey Demib!

Your poem is really great! It carried alot of emotion, a thing I admire in a poem. It also has a really good plot; I had never considered any of the questions your poem asks. Your poem teased my mind and emotions, all at once.

My only complaint is that in the last stanza, third line, you wrote 'necassary'-- it should be 'necessary'.

Keep writing!
