Hey you guys, this is just a poem based off of Yami Marik's feelings in my story "The Darkside's Curse" and how he coped with the spell in which gave him true human emotions... not exactly the same story lining though (as in the way Marik meets Katie, what happens to her and etc). However, basically I'm just bored out of my mind right now (may end up deleting this anyways). Though, for some strange reason, I felt like writing a poem in my favorite character's point of view and then, BOOM!!! Decided to post it online. lol

Well, anyways, here it goes! Hope you enjoy and, if you thought it was okay, please review! Thanks. :)

Oh and, real quick note before you begin reading!... most of this poem just shot into my head so, at certain points, I began to wonder if I had heard some of the lines before! If there is something in here that is STRONGLY similar to a poem you wrote (or a poem someone else did) then PLEASE tell me and give me a link to it (for proof) and then I'll delete this poem right away! Or at least that stanza, line, or whatever. Thanks!... needed to tell you guys this because, right now, a feeling in my gut is telling me that I read some of the comparisons in here before. Yet it's also telling me 'no' though so, yeah (okay, this is exactly why I typically don't write poems... I always get caught up in this mess! lol). Yet anyways, just tell me cause I don't want to find out later and feel guilty the rest of my life for it (just can't stand claiming an idea that wasn't mine... even if it was accidental).

Anyways, I'll stop talking and let you continue on just to see what you think! lol

Creature of the Night: in Yami Marik's point of view

A creature born in the shadows

That's all I'll ever be

The darkness of another

one who had soon come to hate me

-

I thrived off this evil

diminishing all that was good

I brainwashed the innocent

Took control of what I misunderstood

-

Emotions are endless chambers to me

They carry on and on,

almost like the nearly neverending sea

-

Storms of confusion and torn hearts crash together,

like waves that break the silence

Smashing all ones thoughts together

-

I obtained love once though

A curse that spellcasters conjured

They tore away my anger,

pulling forth the good

-

I never knew love was a task I could do,

It never was something I owned

But that day, to my dismay, things changed

and my heart grew just the same

-

This goodness pushed me along

Though I prayed to Ra for it to darken

I didn't want to love,

it was never something I wanted

-

Yet a girl named Katie stepped before my path,

drowning me in her powerful wrath

Though it wasn't violent,

it wasn't cruel

It struck the heart, my heart

and stood me still

-

The young girl smiled happily at me

glad that I found her interesting

She wanted me to walk her home one day,

I took her books and she lead the way

-

I knew for a fact she wouldn't trust me like that

If she knew what I truly was...

-

She'd attempt to delete me from her mind,

forbid me to stay by her side

and quiver in fear as my face burned in rage,

not to mention the nasty appearance of all my veins

-

I would never be the one,

not for anyone to love

I'll always remain the lost shadow,

thrown away like I was no one

-

That's what I am,

and what I forever will be

The curse is fading,

and I can soon be free

-

The fresh blood on my hands will always remain,

the girl I loved has gone away

-

I can't take back a memory I never made,

of me and her living together as equals

Loving one another till we met our graves

-

I feed in the shadows,

preying on the good

Listening to the crys of others

from a world I never understood

-

And most people ponder to themselves,

whilst referring to me

would that thing ever become an actual human being?

-

Ha! most likely not,

for I've been doomed to darkness all my life

I'm a creature of the night,

a nightmare that haunts you when you sleep

-

Now why would you think I'm anything but that?


Awww, poor Yami Marik! My goodness... this kind of turned out sad but hey, this is just 'my' opinion. Now please tell me yours! Or tell me if you heard a poem that has a strong similarity to this cause I need to know just to make sure. Need to make my heart more relieved! lol

Anyways, please review :)

Goodbye for now.
