“The Same Coin”
By Ashley O’Hare
The same 26 letters
that created my favorite novels
shattered my heart.
The same face
that made me smile
tore my soul apart.
The same candle
that burned my fingers
eliminated the dark.
As a child
we learn about
heroes and villains.
The tricky thing is
the hero who saved the world
has blood on their hands.
Good and Evil.
Light and Dark.
Two sides
of the same coin.
