REI'S CORNER: I just thought I'd try something different, and this poem has been swimming in my head for a while now. So I thought I'd try it out, see what you all think.
ENGLISH CLASS By RM
"Ms. Higurashi, you're up next."
Kagome stood from her desk and took place at the front of the classroom. She cleared her throat.
The Dance of Love
Chasing after you, day by day.
Listening to your every order.
Knowing you're there, makes me safe.
That's why I jump the border.
I know that I may be,
A last resort.
But maybe, just maybe,
I could be something more.
Even if in sight, your sight.
I do nothing.
I don't fight.
In my heart, a battle drags.
It's tearing me apart.
So here I stand, weak to you.
Strong to others.
Head held high.
Emotions uncovered.
You said I was too weak!
Then left me behind.
But looking back,
Really letting myself unwind,
I was strong.
Stronger then anyone we had,
Anyone on the team.
If I wanted, I could've broken.
I could've stayed out.
But I chose not to.
I chose to be strong.
Chose to fight back.
So I stayed, and you let me.
And then I thanked you.
But now I stand. My message is clear.
Heart is weak, but holding on.
Is it you that wishes for me here?
If you want me gone,
by hell, I'll leave.
But ask me to stay.
Please.
I'll be all you wanted, even more.
Better than the last, and better than the first.
I'll show you, just give me a chance.
I'll show you the dance.
The Dance of truth.
The Dance of love.
The Dance of life.
"Kagome! It took you forever!" Inuyasha said.
"Sorry, I had school." Kagome answered him.
"Whatever. Next time we're going to start without you!"
"Oh? You want me to go?"
"No! I was joking! I need you! ...I mean to find the shards, that is."
Kagome smiled.
The End
