This is something I wrote while daydreaming about teen titans during class, thinking up ideas for fics and stuff, you know. But like I said, this is my first submission of something to this site so please be nice!
Raven
Unknown beneath the star-streaked skies,
On wings of darkness, a raven flies.
Her soul, it ripples, like that of waves,
Over those of dead, their homes, the graves.
But why is it so she enjoys the seclusion?
To be alone, to escape life's illusion?
This isolation she treasures, is not what it seems,
What lurks IN the darkness is the fear in your dreams.
For Darkness itself, is simply misunderstood,
From an outsider, it obviously would.
But to those who live it, it is not just a "faze",
It is a lifestyle, a different routine of ways.
Now back to the Raven, as she flies through the air,
On through the stars and past the moon fair.
Her eyes, not accustomed, to the death and the pain,
Her ears, not accustomed to the screams of the slain.
Her skin is dripping, yet still stained with blood,
The tears she has cried, the eye of the flood.
Her destiny was foretold, to be the messenger of the end,
If only she could stop it with the hand of a friend.
But who would be willing? She has closed up her heart,
Anyone one could tell from the start.
One broke through though, the "supposed" love of her life,
But he then betrayed her, left her heartbroken with strife.
It took her long to heal, as she drowned in sorrow,
She could see little hope in her future tomorrow.
So she closed herself off from everyone once again,
As she sits in her room, read the cry of the wren.
Across the vast green forest and raging white river,
"His horrible presence stalked her" and she breathed a slight shiver.
It seemed her favourite horror novel resembled her life true,
Always in hiding, there was nothing she could do.
Yet she continued on, her willpower too strong,
To be corrupted by those who intend to do wrong.
She realised this, as she re-read the line thrice,
If only her life were simpler, that would be nice.
Someone hovered near, and she felt her anger rise,
She found he made her feel again, underneath the disguise.
A deep passion, she barely understood herself,
Because she had put those emotions away, away on the shelf.
And still he didn't know, she felt that way about him,
He feel the same way back? That thin chance was slim.
However, she did not know he loved her too,
It was something their friends secretly knew.
But they hoped the two would find out sooner then late,
Yet unknown to all, it was coincidently their fate.
To love as none loved, they would break the Raven's spell,
To stop the ending of the world, unto a burning Hell.
Again this was pertaining to the destiny of the Raven girl,
To be the bearer of a demon, a blacked pure pearl.
But conceal it she tries, though now she is tainted,
Forevermore dark, forevermore painted.
Her heart, save someone, darker it is becoming,
Numb, her mind and body also succumbing.
Yet something, someone, is holding her back,
What is it? She asks, what could it be I no longer lack?
It is that love for that someone she now holds dear,
That will stop the end that's drawing ever near.
And it's hard to know how long this peace will last,
Because the future is coming, erasing the past.
Now thinking of her best friend, the love that she longs for,
He will help her save the world from the demon that lurks in Nevermore.
So still the Raven flies, like past fliers have flown,
The Raven, she flies, into the unknown.
