I decided to write this after a certain incident on a certain forum, during which my friends and I were attacked by everyone else (including a certain person who I had called my friend until he joined the flamers). If he is reading this, he'll know who he is and he'll know that I couldn't possibly hate him any more now. But this isn't about him, it's about the story. This is more like a poem that doesn't rhyme (there's a name for it but I forget what it is).
In case you're wondering why it's here when it doesn't seem to belong here, this is about the discrimination always directed at Pokephiliacs.
Misunderstood (a poem one-shot)
I fall
Steadily I fall
Into the depths of despair.
I beg
Silently I beg
That someone will be there to catch me.
I watch
Torturously I watch
As the insults build higher and higher.
I scream
Chokingly I scream
Drowning under taunts and jeers.
Betrayal
Agonizing betrayal
Stabbed in the back by a friend.
Alone
Painfully alone
Feeling the darkness closing in.
I ache
Tearfully I ache
For the ones I love to save me.
I cry
Desperately I cry
For the pain to finally stop.
Hatred
Blind hatred
Heaped upon everyone I care about.
Pain
Burning pain
As their words tear me apart.
Misunderstood
Always misunderstood
We are different but the same.
Despair
Only despair
As we fall to discrimination.
Respect
Craving respect
We are no less worthy than you.
Surrender
Blissful surrender
Allowing it to wipe my pain away.
Alone
Not alone
Feeling warmth in the darkness.
Eyes
Sorrowful eyes
Watching me crouch on the floor.
A hand
Offering a hand
To help me to my feet.
Hearts
Two hearts
Beating the rhythm of love together.
Different
So different
But we are united as one.
Love
Sacred love
A barrier to defend us from hatred.
Embrace
Sweet embrace
Letting myself relax into his arms.
Together
Always together
Nothing can hurt us now.
Understood
Finally understood
By the one I give my heart to.
Alone
Blissfully alone
In our world of two.
