disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.
As I stare at the diamond in my hand
I think of how things were in the past
—the time I truly belong to—
Where my life could have been ended
For taking a prized fortune
Except now, things are different
Instead, the penalty would be imprisonment
But what are a few decades compared to five millennia?
I had to endure five thousand years worth of sorrow and isolation
Until I was released in the present
Let out into a world that is not even mine
A world with scant moments of happiness
Lessening the longer I remain here
I've tried to convince myself that there is still hope
That there is a reason to keep going on
Then I remember why I am here to begin with
I cannot leave this place no matter how much I would like to
I am anchored to this earth by a piece of tainted gold that use to serve me
In the glow of today's setting sun, the horrible thing glimmers sinisterly
Unlike the diamond
With its perfect facets shining in the light
It is something that I would usually take time to admire
If my life was an option, not an obligation
