Ugly
Shyness exudes from an overwhelmed
puppy. She bows her head to shield
from the crowds.
Don't lift your head up, pup,
don't lift your head.
She perks her ears, but can only
hear a whisper.
Don't lift your head up, pup,
don't lift your head.
She raises her eyes and feels the
stares. They burn her fur and
expose her skin. They watch as she
lies on a blistering metal surface.
Don't lift your head up, pup,
don't lift your head.
She lifts her head and faces
her opponents, but they turn
to dust and she gingerly
carries on.
Explore the misadventures of a flawless realm.
Each world has its own sky.
