All my thanks to my sister ,aka angel0wonder, for helping me with this poem. Love you! And please enjoy the story!

disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.


People tell me a person such as me shouldn't be alive

That I should just wither away and die

I've heard such harangue language about myself

I've grown immune to it.

Their words were like a snake coiling around me

And kept tightening and tightening until

I could barely breathe while it was hissing harsh

Words in my ear, and I agreed with them

And truly wanted to die.

And there came a time when I was actually presented

With a choice, to live or to die, it was at that moment

That a feeling filled my chest, beating like a drum

Louder, louder and louder! The want to live!

I refused to give into the snakes temptation

Because of hands reaching out to me

Of those who love me and don't want to

Put me down but lift me up, higher and higher

Like a robin soaring in the sky out of the snakes reach.


Please tell me what you think!
