Legacy Of Fear

September 28, 2019

Would you rather die

than be embarrassed

Rather destitute

than shamed

Would you rather set your heart on fire,

than barter out your name

Does your reputation matter,

will your legacy endear

Does what others think,

release the pain

That haunts

—and drives your fear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
