Paradox Riddle Poem

-I am neither girl nor boy
-But I take a female form
-I can be wise
-But not to smart
-I am seen
-But not understood
-I am week
-But powerful
-I am taken for granted
-But proven every day
-I am loved by many
-But alone
-I belong to no one 
-But many have me
-I feel free
-But I am a captive
-I am darkness
-But my light shines bright
-What am I?

-I am nothing more
-Than a confused person
-Whos fate has been twisted
-By this cruel world.

-Or perhaps
-The better answer would be
-There is no answer....
