Author's Notes: All right, I'm back and this time, my object of desire is Donatello. I feel as though my best poem has been Leonardo's "Flawed Perfection." Special thanks to Ramica because her Donnie centric poem "All That I Seem" gave me the courage to upload my Donnie poem. Special thanks also goes out to Pacphys as well for doing a beta reader and being a willing test subject for me! I was scared to post this poem because I thought it didn't embody Donatello. At any rate, here's a poem about everyone's lovable genius.

Disclaimer: I don't own the TMNT franchise.

I am seen as the pacifist.

I am always within the confines of my laboratory.

I am viewed as a deadly threat to my enemies when I am alone or with my brothers.

And even though that is sometimes the case, I have proven time and time again, that I truly and honestly crave peace.

I am ninja but also a scientist.

I am not content being a ninja, but I do not have a choice in the matter.

I am content with inventing.

I am content when there is no fighting.

I am content when peace surrounds my family and myself.

I am content when there is no discord, anger or misunderstandings present within my home.

I am content when my heart, mind and soul are at peace with one another.

I am content when I have finally finished one of my many unfinished projects.

I have a desperate need to belong.

I have a deep, unrequited desire to be seen as more than an intelligent being.

I have a dream of one day being accepted for who I truly am.

I have the dire and urgent need to be appreciated for what I do.

I have a problem with trusting my own heart and feelings.

I have come to terms with the simple fact that someday, one day, I will eventually find my place in this world.
