Hi everyone, and welcome to this brand-new reformatted poem. This is actually my first poem and I uploaded it but made a mistake in the formatting. I apologize for the long delay in my next FY fic, but I lost the drafts, and have to rewrite and rethink everything. There will be a TT and Darren Shan fic out fairly soon tho. And as a last note, this and my songfic was written in May as part of my 19th birthday so this poem and my songfic (Walking in the rain) mean a lot to me. Read and review!

See me,

Torn and twisted,

Born in a world

, Where nothing positive never seems to survive,

People hated me,

People stood away from me,

For life always haunted me,

And this power that I possess

Devoid of life,

Devoid of hope,

I pushed hope, compassion away,

They could only bog you down.

Embracing ruthlessness

Withought emotion you could not get yourself hurt.

That was what I thought.

Over the years, Becoming an empty, emotionless shell.

I devoted myself to duty,

Testing, ever testing, to see how far I could go.

But unknown to me.

I was depriving myself of everything that made me human.

Nobody knew or cared.

Only she knew.

And as softly and inexorably as flowing water,

She wore down those walls,

Walls carefully built and nurtured over the years.

Then it came to me.

In testing myself, I reached for the ultimate goal,

The barrier between the worlds.

But they, the ones that I hated,

For I envied them, Tried to stop me.

It was there, that I killed,

It was just another that I killed.

But then, An intervention by the gods themselves.,

And a loyalty that I could never have believed,

They rose up and I received death,

Death by a child!

But it seemed to me,

That was all life ever seemed to me,

Was emptiness, death and despair

My only regret was that I never told her,

She had finally breached the unbreachable walls.

Now I am complete,

I have encountered for the first time,

Love, then defeat.

Now, before me lies only death,

Death, I embrace it,

Death, the merciful release.

Fin.

yay! and happy belated birthday to me.....
