me?
i am rough
like coarse sandpaper
with calloused hands
that could soothe
or choke

me?
i am harsh
my words leave fire in their wake
my feet singe your holy ground
my hands topple civilizations
my fingers leave scars
my arms are open, yes
but only to trick into my love
and put into motion your demise

me?
i am mean
from my mouth spits vile words
building my wall even higher still
care for others isn't in my code

me?
i love none
the fickle love of mortals
has no place in my cold heart
i am the rock in your garden
beautiful yet deadly
smooth but draws blood
from your perfect skin

me?
i am imperfect
filled with many ugly things
exactly what you aspire not to be

me?i am imperfectfilled with many ugly thingsexactly what you aspire not to be
