If I Stop

If I stop now, here
If I just stop and wait
Then I might self-destruct
Like a massive bomb
Causing irrevocable damage

If I stare now at the Sun
If I keep staring into the light
Then I'll be blinded
Like the shadows in caves
Fearing the labyrinth

If I keep walking
If I just keep walking this way
Then I would get lost
Like a star in a black hole
Crushed into infinity

If I stand here, now
If I just stand and defend myself
Then I will be scarred
Like The Tempest Shadow
Ruthless in temptation
