Me: Okay, I haven't done any poetry for a while, so I thought I would :)

Aki:...Okay.

Logan: Who's it about?

Me: It's about Aki masking herself in Season 2. I know Rapis-Razuri did something like this in her 'Aurole' ficlet challenge, so I hope she doesn't mind me using the plot. If she does mind, then I will delete this.

Logan: Taking a step into the bad zone, are we?

Me: No! I was just inspired.

Aki: Bebe doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.


I...have always been alone.
My whole life...
It's like I was the rose in a thorn bush-
A caged beauty.

Yet...that changed.
A single star torched away the thorns...
And allowed me to flourish.
Allowed me to be a rose, that people could admire.

However...
That doesn't stop the memories.
When people chop and slice me down for display...
It's like the dew on my petals- a mask.

When I was placed in that vase,
I was a display of beauty and love.
The prettiest flower in the bunch.
On the other hand, I was crying.

I could never spread my roots.
I could never feel the sun.
I would never produce seeds...
For I was cut from my life so cruelly.

The man who placed me in the thorns still haunts me,
To this very day.
His mask was being a divine soul,
Yet he was mean. Very mean.

But still important.
My mask is the dew- sparkles in the day,
But is dull and wet at night.
At least in the night, I can whimper.

At least in the darkness, I can be free.


Me: Well, that's it. I'm quite proud of this, actually.

Aki: You love comparing me to a rose, don't you?

Logan: Well, it is true.

Aki: I 'suppose so.

Me: Please review :)
