Only Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

Only death can pay for life
Only love inspires sacrifice
Only the heart can keep a secret
Only the eyes can release it

Only children are spared reality
Only humans lack morality
Only hate is an acquired taste
Only cowardice is true disgrace

Only you can write your story
Only ego feeds from glory
Only emotions compel us to vent
Only resentment corrupts the innocent

Only darkness can kill the light
Only the weak abandon the fight
Only the abused befriend rage
Only the mind can act as a cage.
