The Hand That Holds Me.
<p><b>I have one life,</b></p><p><b>but many sides.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>To some, I killed.</b></p><p><b>To some, I broke free.</b></p><p><b>To some, I am good.</b></p><p><b>To some, I am bad.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>I sigh.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Perfection is just too hard to chase.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>I tried to please,</b></p><p><b>I gave my best to it,</b></p><p><b>I began cracking.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>My sharpness became dull,</b></p><p><b>but it ended to no avail.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>I was wrong.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Funny how one person</b></p><p><b>can be many things</b></p><p><b>in different eyes.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Maybe I’m not a good person.</b></p><p><b>Maybe I’m not a bad one either.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Maybe I’m not paradoxical.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>I’m just me.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Like a knife</b></p><p><b>I can hurt,</b></p><p><b>I can protect,</b></p><p><b>I can cut my way out.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>It all depends</b></p><p><b>on who holds me.</b></p><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>So, is the problem the knife,</b></p><p><b>or the hand holding it?</b></p><p><br/></p>
