Hey guys, just a little something from Anakin's POV. It's a bit random really cause I don't normally write stories supporting Anakin(not one of my favorite characters XD) but here you go anyway. Enjoy!
I am a question to the world
I am Anakin Skywalker. I am cold, angry, misunderstood, and a mystery to the rest of the world.
Not an answer to be heard
I'm not the kind of person whose advice you would want to take.
Or a moment that's held in your arms
Or the person that you can hold close to your heart...because I probably wouldn't let you.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
What does the council think they'd tell me....for behavior like mine?
I won't listen anyway
I would probably rebel against it anyway.
You don't know me
They don't understand me. Or the way I work.
And I'll never be what you want me to be
And I'll probably never be the Chosen One they wants me to be.
And what do you think you'd understand?
What do they think they'd know about me anyway?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
They probably don't even care about me aside from the fact that I'm the Chosen One.
You can't take me and throw me away
But they can't take me and just tell me what to do.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
They tell me to do things, be a person I was raised being the opposite of.
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They just say it and expect it to be done.
They don't know me
They have no idea how I feel. As a matter of fact neither does the rest of the world.
Cause I'm not here
Because I'm a nobody. I'm invisible an no one really cares what happens to me, just as long as I save them all one day. It's like I'm not even here.
And I want a moment to be real
And sometimes, I want to break lose. Feel free, like a normal person.
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna do things they would normally kill me for.
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
Wanna stand in the temple and feel like it's home.
And how can the world want me to change?
And dammit, how can the council tell me to change myself
They're the ones that stay the same
When they're the ones that have been exactly the same for centuries?
They don't know me
They have no idea who I am.
Cause I'm not here
Cause technically I'm not even here.
And you see the things they never see
But there's one person amongst all the people that shun me....he's different. He really gets on my nerves sometimes....but he loves me and I know it. Not because I'm the chosen one. Because I'm Anakin Skywalker. His name is Obi-Wan Kenobi.
All you wanted I could be
He cares for me unconditionally, and even though we have our occasional fights, I would do anything to be the padawan he wants me to be.
Now you know me and I'm not afraid
H really knows who I am. He knows what foods I like, what I like to do, and everything else one would need to know about me. Hell, he practically raised me. And he's the one person I can be myself with. Because I know even if I fight with him he'll never stop loving me.
And I want to tell you who I am
I don't have to be afraid to tell him I miss my mother. Because sometimes he'll say a thing or two about how it will pass over time, but other times he'll just listen. And that's why I can be so open with him. Cause he just listens.
Can you help me be a man?
Sometimes I wonder if he'll help me stand up to the council. Because his duty lies with the council as much as it does with me. But something tells me I wouldn't have been able to remain in the order for this long if Obi-Wan hadn't already spoken up on my behalf.
They can't break me
Yes the council can never really do anything to me...
As long as I know who I am
As long as I know that I am Anakin Skywalker and there is someone behind me. I will not be broken.
And I want a moment to be real
And sometimes I want to break free of this perfect little chosen one impression I have to do all the time.
Wanna touch things I don't feel
I want to be the way I am with Obi-Wan, with everyone else
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
I want to hang out in the halls with a whole bunch of friends like I see Ferus and the others do.
And how can the world want me to change?
And how could the council expect me to change and be like them?
They're the ones that stay the same
They're the ones that have been the same for so long
They can't see me
They barely know anything besides my name, my master and my faults.
But I'm still here
But you know what? I am here. Because I'm different yes. But I am myself. And that's what counts.
They can't tell me who to be
They can't tell me who to be.
Cause I'm not what they see
Cause there's more to me than just the chosen one.
Yeah, the world is still sleepin'
They're all living in their bubble of perfection.
While I keep on dreamin' for me
And you know what? It doesn't matter that Obi-Wan's the only one that sees that. It's all I need to keep on going. One person is all I need to know I do have a future.
And their words are just whispers and lies
And all their talk about me being dangerous is all just a bunch of lies. Obi-Wan says so. He told me once that I am talented beyond his wildest imagination.
That I'll never believe
And that's all I need, to believe they're lying.
And I want a moment to be real
And I'll find a moment to break free.
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Find a way to do the things I want
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
Find happiness with only the friendship of my master. Because after all he already gives me the care that a hundred friends couldn't.
And how can they say I'll never change?
The more they tell me to change, the more I'll stay the same
They're the ones that stay the same
Just like them
I'm the one now
I am the most important now
'Cause I'm still here
Because I am the chosen one, and I'm still here.
I'm the one
Yes I'm the one that will show them who I really am.
Cause I'm still here
Because I always was, and always will be here.
I'm still here
Always.
I'm still here
I am Anakin Skywalker, and I'm Still Here.
So, how was that? I couldn't help but put in a strong Anakin, Obi-Wan bond. I just love that between them =]
