Perspectives

She is Trouble,
but she does not want to be.
She is a Loaded Gun,
That desires to protect.
But everyone who handles her
keeps tilting her in angles 
that point her 
straight at their heads.

Oh, this is GOOD! I am reading it for the third time, for the nuances are holding me in captivity. My attention is keen. Welcome to PoetrySoup, Julia. I think you have found your new tribe!

The protective instinct is a very powerful thing. And well expressed in this poem.
