The Sword | Hiba Patel (11)

Writer's picture: shsimagesshsimages

Freedom is a double edged sword 

With both sides sharp enough to cut through anything 

Yet one side is red, and the other blue 

Seemingly similar, yet so conflicting 


The red edge, though often perceived as intimidating, 

Cuts through all things hard and true 

Breaking barriers without distress 

Providing a unique edge that cultivates progress and success 


Breaking boundaries and opening new paths 

Are only few of the many accomplishments the red side has The real power lies with the swordsman 

Who guides himself to victory with precision 


The blue edge, on the other hand,

Cuts through a more timid path

Where fear and rejection lie intertwined

Weighing heavy on both the heart and mind 


Carving a path through caution and care 

The blue side holds back 

In apprehension that a move, whether it be big or small,

May cause the haven of safety to fall 


Yet the two sides of the sword coexist 

Similar to the risk-takers and bystanders of which our world consists Your fate lies in your grip 

Which edge of the sword is yours to equip?
