Walk on both sides, seemingly between truth and falsehood.

Walk on both sides because once again, she鈥檚 in a fix with her reality.

Walk on both sides because the line between good and evil has become a blur.

She heard someone say there are no bad people.
Just people who do bad things.

Is it selfish that she uses this as a justification to live frivolously?

As she鈥檚 no longer aware of the principles I grew up with.

Her once vengeful conscience,
Now just a dulling ache.

Dead to all scruples she guarded judiciously.

I guess she can call herself now a free being.

She鈥檚 there but she isn鈥檛 there.

Walking on both sides of bad and just,

She鈥檚 just a good girl who鈥檚 trying not to get accustomed to doing bad things.

And maybe, it鈥檚 not so bad since she is truthful to her emotions.

She doesn鈥檛 live in self-denial.

She鈥檚 proud of her worth.

And maybe she would keep making mistakes, but she鈥檚 getting there.

Slowly, but surely.
