I am a sword

Sharp around the edges

But smooth in the center
I am a sword

Protective by your side

Fighting to the death to keep you safe
I am a sword

Always willing to clash

It takes a lot to damage me.
I am a sword

Unsteady and hard at first

Your life saver in the end

&quot;Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, I&#039;m already better than them.&quot;
