I WAS Dave Strider

by BlackFeathers 17

and NOW...now I'm NOT.

Some time ago, I WAS Dave Strider

I WAS thirteen

I LIVED in Texas

I HAD a brother

I HAD three frinds online

I THOUGH we were playing just a GAME

I WAS tricked

I WAS the one to find my best friend dead

I WAS the one that got the last message from Jade

I WAS left and so was Rose

I WAS alone on one planet and Rose on another

I WAS surrounded by the mocking laugher from that GODDAMNED PUPPET

I HAD failed

I HAD to change things

I WAS by myself for four months with Rose and she was gone soon too, rotting with the drinks she choked on

I HAD gone back in time to change the past

I HAD saved my two best friends

I HAD lost one because to this

I HAD become a sprite, a replacement for the PUPPET

I HAD talked to my best friend and he called me a fake

I HAD found my brother and then i watched me die

I HAD been hurt by the monster that killed my brother

I HAD LOST EVERTHING

I HAD THREE FRIENDS

I HAD A BROTHER

I HAD BEEN DAVE STRIDER

but

NOW i'm not

NOW I HAVE no friends

NOW I HAVE no brother

NOW I AM NOT Dave Strider

so WHO am I?
