No DBZ is owned by me. *Tra-lala*I've been on a real Mirai kick lately. Well, this poem is about Gohan's thoughts, from everything to the memories of his friends and family, to Trunks and...well, mostly about Trunks because the lilac haired boy was a main part of his life. Non yaoi--this is a strong friendship between master and student, friend and friend; and even in a sense, father and son.
So...kick back and relax. Hope you enjoy.
Invincible
Fight.
That's what I do, who I am
To bring about peace in turn I must take
I take to give...to what has been lost
What has been lost...is what causes me to break.
Those I once knew, memories now
My duty to keep them alive,
To cherish.
But as day turns to night
And night breaks into morning
I find them fainter;
The memories.
I find them bleaker
Like a candle folded in cloth, with no room to breathe...
Or burn.
Day by day I train
Not to become the strongest;
Not to become invincible.
But that's what he told me
'You can become invincible'
Father?
What would you say now-
-To a son who's almost forgotten you?
And yet will never forget you?
Who wants you to come home...
To hold me like a child
Even when I am a man?
The friends I have lost...
The dreams that have faded...
Never forget them.
I can be...invincible.
But I have not completely lost
Just one boy--my student
My friend and my son.
He speaks with me, trains with me;
He too, can become invincible.
Does he see me break sometimes?
His master...his guardian angel?
He can never know.
But I can see it within him-
-The glow.
And it grows brighter,
Like a newborn star.
And then, when it was all over
Time had gone and come again
The fight had ended
The brilliant flashes of ki against a darkening sky...
I knew then, Star...
I want to die without you.
Do I want to leave you here, alone?
(No.)
Do I want to risk your life as well?
(No...)
Do I want your glow to be a beacon...
(Yes...)
For hope...
(I can see it now...)
You are invincible.
Hope, itself;
Invincible.
I trust my memory to you, Star.
You will cherish it always,
Though sometimes it may fade.
But it will always be there.
As will I, though you fear you cry alone...
Even your tears are invincible.
I am your guardian angel;
I will guard your heart from caving to the lust of battle
And I will place your dreams on the wings
Of a thousand more angels.
(You're never alone.)
