A double edged sword protruding from my mothers arm
A dagger that is sticking out of my fathers back
A gun fired into a crowd of unsuspecting victims
An arrow shot from a bow soaring into the lives of many

This is how I have effected the people
This is what I have done
This is the weight I have to bare
This is what I can’t fix

The action I have repeated
The sin I have committed
The wrong I have lost to and
The sadness I have brought

At least that is what I am told
At least I am to scared
At least I don’t do drugs and
At least I am not failing school like every other person I know

I know people that take advantage of everyone
I know that everyone makes mistakes and
I know that judging people is bad
I know that I am not even close to perfection but who is

Yes I have my problems and
Yes I have my fears
Yes I caused more problems than I am worth and
Yes I can’t pick them up by myself

One can only do so much
One can help yes but solve no
One can only strive for a solution but be less than a fingers tip away and not know it
One is only one

I caused the pain in my moms eyes
I caused the anger in my dads voice
I caused the sorrow in my best friends heart
I caused my life to be the way it is 

Sure I have my mistakes
Sure I have done wrong
Sure I am stupid sometimes and
Sure I may rely on to many people but

I am one
I am not perfect
I am yes a problem
but I am me and that is ok I guess
