If

If…Someone hadn't scarred my face.I hadn’t followed my dreams to LA.That tweaker hadn't attacked that homeless guy.I hadn't invited a stranger over for Thanksgiving.I hadn’t fallen in love.If I hadn’t lost him.If…I hadn’t gone for that drive.I saw the world like everyone else.My “genius” wasn’t slowly destroying me.I had just walked away before I could ever know her.She hadn’t ignited the spark.If the spark didn’t ignite the madness.
