Utena's Ballad

By AnimeDutchess

A/N: My first piece of Utena work…and it's a poem. I tried to capture a snippet of how Utena feels about Anthy's situation, though I'm not sure if I did a good job…I just hope it doesn't sound stupid…

Disclaimer: If I owned it, they wouldn't be as awesome as they are. Seriously, the series would suck.

Dedicated to Sonora-Margaret, a dear friend of mine who I haven't gotten to talk to in a while. She's gonna flip when she sees it; it's a surprise dedication!

I refuse to lose against

Such fools, only seeing

Power and not

The wonderful person you are

How can they look at

Those green eyes and not

See the girl crying out to be seen

Am I the only one who sees her?

All of you, no one

Notices that behind her

Smiles lie tears uncried

A caged bird that desires freedom

Since no one else can see,

I shall be the one to set her free

And roses shall fall from the sky

In revolution

A/N: Yeah, I came up with that last night…some other poems were running through my head and this one just…formed. So, ah…feel free to review me! Even though I know this isn't that great…
