"What If" - the poem i wrote in class

If Pandora never opened the box

What would the world have become

And as the wind blew the plagues across the seas what did it think

The wind is like a kiss of death cold yet sweet

You never want it to come but when it does your ready 

Pandora should have known 

Known more of horrors in the box the gods so graciously gave her

She should have been warned and same with her companions

Maybe it wouldn't of happened if they were 

Even so she might've been just like poor Icarus 

The boy who flew too close to the sun

After all he was warned

He was told the wax would melt

But the boy who was locked in the tower was in love

He loved the sun it brought him warmth and happiness, comfort and reason

Reason to keep going

When he finally escaped with his father he flew

Flew right up to the sun and when he fell from the sky

He peacefully landed in the ocean 

People pitied him but he was not sad when he died 

In his last moments he flew and met his only true love the sun

Maybe a warning isn't what we really need thought 

Maybe we need to feel the consequences of our actions

Maybe we need to feel the gravity of our decisions

But truthfully I will never know the true answer

Because all I know is the maybe’s and the what if”s
