Was It Worth It?

One stab, one life,
all with the point of a knife.
A life wrecked,
before it's had the chance to begin.

'I carry it for safety',
'I carry it for protection',
but that one little act
won't get you affection.

One stab, one life,
the cause of controversy and strife.
Locked up forever,
when will you be let out? Maybe never.

Looking back,
was it worth it?

I didn't think so...
