Poem: What Would Happen If You Just Walked Away?

A friend sent me this over the text line the other, other day. Authorship, according to her, is still unknown. It's a pretty li'l poem, I say--and the last two lines really hit me. It's like a very pertinent piece of wisdom about life and relationships that should have been taught since I walked in the four walls of a classroom.

If you happen to know who the author is, please inform me. Thank you.

What would happen if you just walked away?

Put things into perspective: what would really happen if you just walked away?
What would you lose if you left behind what is hurting you?
You need not stay where you are; there are other places you could occupy, possibly more happily than where you are now.
What keeps you were you are?
If there is nothing, walk away.
If there is something, you will know why you stay.
