Duality

Your gift is your curse Used wrong things get worse Intentions unsure Motives unclear The evil behind is what you now fear Attribute or, handicap Your potential you tap Use only when needed Use at the right time Seldom will it become your crime Many will want your power Your innocence they will sour Closed off from yourself Open to many Becoming as common as a discarded penny Jaded you become Forgetting where you're from No one to trust No one to believe A world with problems is all you perceive Hope you now seek Prospects seem bleak Ideas in the horizon Almost hard to see Make the journey towards them to set yourself free.
