A/N: First and foremost, I don't own Zoids LZ. Not sure I'd like to.
Jamie'd be nice to have, or even better, the Wild Eagle, or best of all,
maybe Brad, but unfortunately for me, none of them are mine. I'd take any
one of these beautiful bishoshen, but they're not mine. It makes me very
depressed. Don't bring it up in conversation. Ever. I have enough pain in
my life.
P.S. For those who can't figure it out . . . I'm kidding about the pain and depression. I'm not depressed. I'm just crazy.

The Division
"He haunts me like a nightmare.
Why won't he go away?
Aren't things hard enough the way they are?
I don't know when or where to expect him.
Don't know what to do when he's here.
I'm a rabbit in the snare
Caught hopelessly in this wire mesh of fear.
I'm a captive."
(He's always there, always in front of me.
How dare he do this to me?
Who gave him the right
To keep me in the closet forever?
I can't convince him.
His ears refuse my screams of protest.
I'm always the silhouette
Forced in these accursed chains to follow.
I'm a slave.)
"(God, deliver me from this prison.)"
"He can't understand me.
Why can't he see
He's making it all worse for me?
In this world of heroes and desperados,
I've found my path alone.
I've learned silence is my savior.
In its essence, I've learned to survive.
Now he wants to change the path.
Why has he cursed me?"
(He's refused to understand me.
Why can't he see
That I am not his enemy?
In this sky of dreams and nightmares,
I've found rebellion keeps me alive.
A caged tiger, I must cry and fight every day
Claim this life for what I deserve.
Now he wants to kill me.
Why does he choose ignorance?)
"(Why can't he accept me?
Doesn't he understand
I'm only human?
What does he want from me?)"
"He has made me insane.
I am no longer who I am.
Now fear is what I know.
Gone are the days of survival in light of the stars.
Gone are the times where I could dream of a better time.
He has made my life insanity.
He will not let me go."
"He makes our life insanity.
I cannot be here forever.
Now hunger is what I know.
Gone are the days of wishing for the better.
Gone are the times when I could play the simple toy.
He has made our life struggle.
He will not let me in."
"(All I'm asking for is a little stability.)"
"This is the crossroads.
Either way I turn takes me
To a new future. I don't know the right way.
There is no map here for me.
I'm afraid."
(It is my time to make a choice.
One leads to my freedom, my salvation.
One leads to my bondage, my anguish.
My judgment is clouded.
I walk without guidance.
I'm hesitant.)
"(One path leads to life,
the brother to death.
Risk is inevitable.
Change is the paradox.)"
"I must learn to face my fears unafraid.
It's the only way I will survive my own ego."
(I must learn to acknowledge my weakness.
It's the only way I can be honest with myself.)
"(Only I can save myself.)"
"The answer is out there. That I believe."
(I will find the key. I know I will.)
"(Perhaps the answer is him)"
