What If - New UpdateWhat if…
If fear did not guard and watch over me?
My seeds of shame and doubt
Would timidly venture out
And finally sprout,
But as they reached the light,
Like a vampire, would wither and die
Without the protection of night.

By searing radiation, deathly bright.
No sign of life but one lone phoenix flies,
Soaring precarious, close...
