i am both the bullet, <br />and the victim. <br />the finger on the trigger, <br />the hand on the heart. <br />the hatred and the forgiveness, <br />the compassion that dares. <br />the sacred, and the demon, <br />the prayer and the scream. <br />both justice and injustice, <br />prejudice and understanding. <br />both ignorance and wisdom, <br />fearful, and a man. <br />i see both the light and darkness, <br />feel, touch, and taste them. <br />knowing that every breath i breathe, <br />is a choice! <br />every night i take off my image, <br />and examine my heart. <br />taking responsibility for my life, <br />and vowing, to be better!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vowing-to-be-better/
