The double edged sword

A sword that has two edges,
that's what life is.
It's not give or take,
anything that is given can hurt.
The question is,
what will you do with the scars.
Will they be shown boldly,
as a testament to how brave you can be?
Or will they be covered,
like a forbidden vale,
that feels like shame.

The same goes for takeing.
If you take in life,
your pride gets hurt.
Because we all have that voice,
"I could have been fine by myself".
But pride can also be worthless,
if life is a double edged sword.
So it's up to you,
which one is worth more.
