I own everything about this little poem because I wrote it about me and
later realized it fits for Rogue too. I don't know about the name. I don't
know how great the poem is either because, in my eyes, everything I write
sucks. But its angsty, which may make DS happy.
Life in the Shadows
Look upon the mortal world of commerce
and convenience. Children play as their
mothers huddle together in a cloud of
cigarette smoke. Teenagers pass a vodka-
filled Sprite bottle and get behind the
wheel of a car. Old men sit around a
rickety square table playing cards and
relive old lives. But, for all their faults, they
are together. And in the corner, all alone,
is the wraith, the spectre watching the
living as the ousider that she is. The
shadows shroud her, protecting this poor
misguided thing that has never known
another's touch, let alone their love.
She pretends not to cry, that it does
not bother her but deep down, she
knows she'd give her life to have
any one of their's. Alas, she can not.
Fate in all her cruelty deemed this
so-called life necessary so she must
remain in the darkness, apart from all
the world. And she will never be happy
for life in the shadows is no life at all.
