From the Shadows

by Ferdinan the Paranoid Fox

The Princess of Hyrule is now disguised and known as Shiek. Her inner thoughts move from confused to sad to determined in this poem, showing that zelda is in fact, a very strong willed person. im not all that good at summaries lol...

DISCLAIMER: UM.. Yeah..I wrote this while I was bored and it actually was ok, so I kept it. I've met fan girls that are like ooo sheik is a man, but its clearly stated that Sheik is in fact simply Zelda in disguise. Still a girl, just dressed and carefully acting like she's not, I remember a few times in Ocarina of Time where her true self showed through the disguise a little, but other than those few times, the Princess is sure a good actor! O ya…I own nothing! Hope u like it!

From The Shadows

I follow in the Shadows,

My eyes now crimson red.

I've been clothed in sheikah garb,

With bandages atop my head.

My identity unknown to him,

The man I follow this day.

As much that it beaks my heart,

Things must stay this way.

I can't risk getting caught

Over feelings of my own.

But through our whole adventure,

These feelings sure have grown.

I wish I wasn't dressed like this,

Carefully clothed as a man.

My voice so trapped and muffled,

Nobody can tell who I am.

But one of these days I'll let him know

It is really me.

Because I cannot remain like this

As long as I'm supposed to be.

I am a Hylian Princess,

not this shadowed sheik.

A shadow would never let

This tear fall down it's cheek.

I fear my disguise is drifting,

As I think while here alone.

I want to laugh, to be free again

I just want to go home.

I sit out here and wait

In the shadows with a sigh.

These thoughts and feelings all inside me

Make me want to cry.

In the temple I sit atop,

My hero fights for his life.

As I guide him in the shadows,

Full of agony and strife.

But as I wait in the shadows,

I've come to realize.

There is not much longer that I can stand

To stay in this disguise.

I've worked in the darkness,

In the shadows all along.

It is about time for me

To come out and to be strong.

The temple of Time is where

My hero shall soon be lead.

I must hurry through the darkness

So I can get ahead.

For when my hero comes inside,

As he closes the entry door

I shall step out to greet him,

Part of the shadows I am no more.

For now I take on

a new role in Hyrule's fight,

not a sheikah of shadow,

but a princess of the light.
