Hiya! I am just starting my first upload. This is a poem I made after seeing Kevin turn evil and how it might have affected Ben. I normally don't show my work like this, but it is time that I spread my wings a bit.
Takes place during ...Nor Iron Bars a Cage.
Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or his thoughts.
To Be a Hero
"Gwen, you see what Kevin is capable of now."
My name is Ben Tennyson, I am a hero.
When I was 10, I found this meteor, a watch was inside.
It was the Omnitrix, and with it I gain power.
I stopped crime, faced villains alike
I saved the planet, I saved peoples' lives
After my summer, I gave it all up for a normal life.
My name is Ben Tennyson, I am a leader.
Five years later, my grandpa was missing
And the earth was in trouble once more.
My decision made, I faced it head on
With my cousin at my side
And someone I didn't expect to work with at all.
Despite everything that had happened, I trusted him with my life
At the same he trusted his in mine.
We faced this threat with everything we had
And in the end we had won with smiling faces;
With my grandpa Max found once again.
"That's why we have to help him."
My name is Ben Tennyson, I am a person.
I continued on my life as the protector
We stop villains with their plans.
We would win most of our battles, whether in space or on land.
My confidence rising as my friends' patience with me runs thin.
I thought myself strong, I felt unbeatable, someone who could always win.
In truth, I turn my friend into a monster, my cousin also suffered.
After all that I had put them through, I had almost got them killed.
Vilgax came back, with Albedo no less.
They took my friends; they took the powers that I possessed.
I saw no other choice, I destroyed what they wanted.
And with that I gain much more than I expect.
My friend was cured and my cousin happy when all was through.
I saw my team together, with me seeing what I could lose.
"I think we're past that... I think...we have to put him down."
My name is Ben Tennyson, I am me.
My secret was blown, and people know who I am.
We soon found another problem to face once again.
He was nothing like what I faced, the battles leaving me sore.
He takes others powers, like my friend once before.
He took others from different worlds, just to use them in his goals.
No matter how hard I tried, it wasn't enough to beat him at all.
He was too smart, too fast, and too strong for us to face.
In the end, my friend saved our lives,
But he lost his mind, his friendship with me erased.
"What's that suppose to mean...?"
My name is Ben Tennyson, I am a savior.
With all that we've gone through, all that we faced
I knew what was at stake, he needed to be stopped
No matter the cost, whatever it takes.
I fought warlords, traveled off world
I saved the earth; I ended a war,
So I should face this with no problem in mind.
My name is Ben Tennyson, I am a hero.
I know what I must do, for the sake of others
But is it worth the price?
Because I am not sure what is right.
I hope you like it. Please review.
