What can I be to you?

Something

Everything

Nothing?

What can I be to the world,

A helping hand

A hammer to fall

A lost soul to call.

Be something,

be everything to someone

and be you.

I mainly write about me, but with this, I wanted to take a different view and let you see what I think of others.

Dont worry. :) I am not an easy person to scare, unless you hold me prisoner.

This is really great. It's amazing that you captured such tremendous emotions in not even ten lines. That's why I love poetry. (I would insert a (very fitting) quote here, but I don't want to scare you away. :P).
