Lighter

I’m a Lighter.

I am both good and bad,

I can save you or break you,

I can burn you down or start you up.

But that doesn’t matter right now.

You get to choose what happens next,

You can be the bully,

You can be the bystander,

You can be the victim.

But you don’t get a notice that I’m coming,

You don’t get a notification that I’m going to show up,

I just do.

And I won’t listen to what you have to say,

You didn’t mean it, then why did you do it?

You couldn’t do anything, then just stand there and watch?

You didn’t want anyone to get hurt, then you just saved someone.

You don’t know why they do this to you, and neither do they.

Because of what you choose to do, I know my next move,

I can quickly stop your heart,

I can slowly tear you apart,

I will easily give you a spark,

I will gladly make you a star.

But remember,

I am both good and bad,

I can save you or break you,

I can burn you down or start you up.

I’m a Lighter.
