No Choice
Robin
Poem One
"There is a thin line between good and evil"
"But The line can be almost impossible to see"
The rush in Amazing, something to lust for,
The feeling of danger, risk each time I crave more.
So what if it's wrong who decided that anyway?
Whats good and whats bad who care what they say.
To the team, I hide the criminal I am
Stealing idem after idem just cause I know I can
Some are Wiser then they seem, She found out
Yet she says nothing to encourage doubt
She too understand the rush from the darkness, the sin
What it feels like to step over the line, and throw cation to the wind.
A voice in my mind says it wont stay
That if I keep this up, I'll have to fight my friends soon day
I have to control the urge to do away with justice
To give up what is right and because so selfish
Yet for now I'll play the thief, who only cares for number one
But the boy wonder will return with the rising of the sun.
"Does won good deed make him a hero?"
"Does it change the crime that he committed?" O-
Maybe he was Robin. The strong, fearless leader of the infamous Teen Titans. The heart throb of every Teen aged girl in Jump City.
Maybe he was handsome. Silky Ebony hair that was styled with too much gel. Strong arms that many girls dreamed of being in. Eyes colorless behind the white mask. No one knew what color his eyes were.
Starfire thought that they were Green like hers. Bright and happy, almost angelic.
She knew Starfire was wrong.
Beast Boy thought they were Grey, Pale blue with a spark of black.
He was wrong too.
Cyborg though his eyes where hazel. A mix of brown and blue.
And for awhile She thought they were hazel too, but alas they were not.
No, She knew they were Electric Blue. So pure and Clear that they sent chills down her spine. She saw them, But she wished she didn't.
Maybe when she saw his blue eyes, she never meant to.
It was an accident. She had walked in on him one day in the gym. Everyone else was out, so he decided to train. He thought She was gone too but she wasn't. And she saw, his eyes.
She ran before he could find out.
Maybe she kept it a secret for him, She always kept his secrets.
Red X was his biggest secret. She found out long before Starfire had, yet she didn't tell the team. Even after Slade found out that Robin was X, she knew he would creep out in the middle of the night, in the disguise of his alter ego. Sometimes it made her cry, She cried because he still didn't get it. He didn't get that if he kept this up, he would lose his way. The darkness would consume his heart.
Maybe it hurt her so much because she too understood the darkness too, She too would go to dark side, just to release what she hid.
Maybe the Dark side had no rules, Maybe you could do what you want on the dark side, maybe you could be who you want on the dark side.
Maybe she didn't try to stop him because she knew that she would have to stop too.
Maybe he was Robin, But to her he was a lost child, just like her.
A child bound by darkness, but not broken
Not yet...
