WORST CASE SCENARIO, I end up...
asking myself, what if
I do this, "anything goes"
what is the worst
that could chance,
then I go through
every imaginable outcome,
every step of this dance,
can I live with it…?
whether the answer is no,
or whether the answer is yes;
I thought about it in advance.

Worst Case Scenario, I end up...
right back here
with nothing to show for it.
Back in the voidlands
where time still moves on:
I age, the earth heats up,
wars rage, others live,
and I do bugger all:
Bleak and bland rock bottom
No dreams, hopes, or desires
Absolutely nothing
And I no longer care
right back here
with nothing to show for it.

WORST CASE SCENARIO, I end up
Nothing,
Nobody,
A shell,
Shedded skin,
A rejected soul,
Never able to recover from the moment she shut me down,
But I think,
Given the reward of success,
Of a completed soul instead of a rejected one,
That taking this chance is definitely worth risking the worst case scenario every time.

Worst case scenario, I end up alive
It's not that I don't enjoy living
I just don't get it
the meaning of a breath
At least I know death
Is certain
and that's comforting
that I'll die someday
it's guaranteed
I don't have to guess
day to day
unlike living
which is the worst case scenario
It's not that I don't enjoy living
I just don't get it
the meaning of a breath
At least I know death
Is certain
and that's comforting
that I'll die someday
it's guaranteed
I don't have to guess
day to day
unlike living
which is the worst case scenario
My mind is racing...
WORST CASE SCENARIO, I end up...
Running in circles eyeing for control
What if I can't find the person I used to be?
What if my old self is lost forever?
I have so many things to do,
but I end up doing nothing at all...

Worst case scenario
invested and labored
blood, sweat, tears
self sacrifice
nothing held back
sleep deprivation
denial of bodily needs
and what for?
Void of recognition
no condemnation
no praise
not a hint of smile
or slight grimace
the cruelest reception of all
stone cold indifference
no reply is communication

WORST CASE SCENARIO, I end up
in wrinkles of time
reliving moments
re-tasting bitterness
of errors
dripping in slow death
of crucification.
Though I cannot see
the distance,
I watch irony's dance
fall and rise
mockingly, pull
to the center
of my fears.
I drink the tears
celebrating
my imperfections,
toasting for another
lifetime of
errors.

worst case scenario
i end up
horny as fuck
and impotent
a fat guy starving to death
a quadruple amputee
stuck in a bouncy house
with children who all just shit themselves
jumping all over me
re marrying my x wife,workin at a golden corral
forced to watch honey boo boo for all eternity
sober

WORST CASE SCENARIO, I end up with
bullet holes,
stab wounds,
battle scars
I'm the protagonist of this war,
I'm fearless;
through the dark,
in the midst of evil,
I'll move like ocean current
Through the ups and downs;
struggles,
fights,
I'm more than a conqueror.
In the worst case scenario I end up a VICTOR

Worse Worsening
Worst case scenario...
emptiness
plummeted back to madness
trampling me
into the dirt
chattering in my brain
for validation
frenzied hands plucking
words from thin air
arranging them like scrabble
words, screaming worms
digging into my flesh
pain in my skull,
never stops
I end up..in a padded cell
