Um, I just realized that it's been one year today that I've been on fanfiction. I have nothing finished to post, so I took out a school folder of stuff I wrote during class this year. You know…Poems, drabbles, whatever. I'll post the characters above each one so it's not as confusing.

Hope you like this!

DISCLAIMER: Obviously I don't own it.

Ryou

Light is full of fear
While Dark plays his wicked game
He is powerless

---

Ryou and Malik

They are only pawns
In this dark and evil plan
They are nothing more

---

Unknown

Putting on a show
Hiding things I'll never share
Hiding from people who don't care
Not showing how I feel

Can you see it in my eyes
My unshed tears
My unknown fears
Do you even know

---

Thief King Bakura

Suspicious assumers
Doubting liars
They know the truth

Innocent but
Proven guilty
They know the truth

Silent witnesses
Who are afraid
They know the truth

Clever words
Are all lies
Do you know the truth?

---

Ryou

Freedom to speak
Freedom to cry
Gives us freedom to hurt
Freedom to lie

Freedom to be unsure
Freedom to ask
Gives us freedom to judge
Freedom to hide behind a mask

Freedom is limited
Freedom causes pain
It gives us tools
In this awful game

Is it really freedom?

---

Amane and Ryou

When you hurt
When you scream
When you fight
When you dream

An angel is there
To watch over you
Giving you strength
To hold on to

---

Ryou, Malik, Bakura, and Marik

If you care
You have a funny way
Of showing it

If you love
How come you never say
That to me

If you're angry
Get out of the way!
Not in the line of fire

If I hate you
Why, when I try as I may,
Do I still love you?

---

Seto

Innocent young kids
That have been broken blame it
On the whole entire world

---

Many

Binding bonds
Invisible chains
Twisted roads
Violent games

Secrets kept
Perfect masks
Just accepted
No questions asked

Nothing changes
Though you wish
Someone would realize
What they miss

---

Bakura

Doomed, no hope at all
Everything you love is gone
Why keep going on?

---

Marik

Cornered without
Options
Not sure but
Faking it
Uncertain about your mask
Screaming in your head
Empty and numb
Despair fills your soul

---

Ryou and Malik

"Hey. What are ya thinking 'bout?" the blonde asked.

The teen didn't move from his spot. "Life."

"Deep, eh?" the blonde laughed without it reaching his eyes.

"I guess so." Brown eyes stared off into space.

The Egyptian questioned, "..Did you figure something out?"

"Yes."

He waited for his friend to continue, but nothing. He tried again curiously. "…Well, what was it?"

He finally looked at the other. "Life sucks."

The teen fell into a sudden silence.

"What," the time he asked, "are you thinking about?"

"How right you are." This made them both laugh.

Then silence.
