The Sword

Clutch the knife too close and you'll only fall.
What a sure, damned way to end this all.

Think before you act and you will be deemed wise.
But if you attack without question you'll meet a quick demise.

This life is not a game that you can just restart.
You think you have the mind but you don't have the heart.

These bodies weren't made to be so damaged and worn,
But we're all doomed to fate once we pick up the sword.
