From the Perspective of Optimus Prime

by Ripplingstorm

Transformers Prime. A short poem from the perspective of Optimus Prime. May seem slightly OOC.

A/N: Another poem inspired by my history unit project! Optimus may also seem a bit OOC in this poem, as was the case with Megatronus. Just keep in mind that this poem speaks of what goes on in Prime's processor, so he is at liberty to think within the borders of a larger confine and show distress and other strong emotions.

I based this poem off Optimus Prime from the TF Prime series. The point in time in which it takes place is up to you. Really, it could be any time in the show, with the exceptions of the first two episodes of Season 2, and the first three episodes of Season 3. Perhaps when Optimus suffers from the Cybonic Plague can be counted as an exception as well.

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. I just borrowed the characters to write about their deepest thoughts and desires.

From the perspective of Optimus Prime, Bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, Autobot Commander

I am a leader and a Prime.

I dream of Cybertron's revitalization

I wonder how many of our kind are left

I worry for the fate of my people

I want for the last of us to come together

I touch the stars in search of hope

I am a leader and a Prime.

I hear the chaos of the battlefield

I see the damage this war has wrought

I face the knowledge that I brought this upon us

I understand that we have lost far too much

I try to end this war; to create peace

I am a leader and a Prime.

I accept the power of the Matrix of Leadership

I seek the help of the Matrix that it may guide me

I am inspired by the trust and the faith my comrades place in me

I say that this war must end

I will strive to achieve lasting peace

I am a leader and a Prime.

I am Optimus Prime.
