Hypothetically Speaking


What if I stopped trying to hide
And simply let go of my folly and pride?

What if today were the day
I gave up on the games
And stopped being so preoccupied with issues of shame?

What if I stopped trying so hard
And simply let go and let God?

What if today were the day
All your dreams came true?
Would it be worth all the things you had to go through?

What if you found out
You only had hours to live,
Would you still be proud of all the things you did?

What if you lost the thing
You've been holding on to with all your might,
Would you still have the courage to plod on and fight?

What if after all the years 
Of being adamant and headstrong,
We suddenly woke up to find we were wrong?

What if we gave our best
Even when the way got rough,
And found that our best was not good enough?

What if we had all the answers,
Would we still have questions?
And if we had no questions,
Could we still learn life's lessons?

What if we abandoned all lies
And lived only for truth
Would we be humble enough 
To accept the truth about me and you?

What if we stopped being enemies
And tried to be friends
Would the time we had left suffice to make full amends?

What if you were me and I were you
Do you think we each could walk a whole mile in the other's shoe?
