Hi everyone! This is a poem that I wrote from the viewpoint of Bakura Ryou. Hope it's okay.
This poem is dedicated to millenniumthief, one of the best (and my favourite) writers when it comes to Bakura Ryou and Yami Bakura fanfiction. If you haven't read her stories before, I highly recommend you do, along with Unique Art's and Niilan's, they are all absolutely amazing.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or any of its characters.
Alone in a world where everyone has a place;
I don't belong.
Forgotten, unnoticed,
by those around me;
Where have they all gone?
Loved by none, liked by few,
I am forsaken.
I am unsure of my future,
one that may not even exist.
Time has passed.
I'm more alone than ever,
but it's changed now.
I'm still isolated, still invisible,
but now I have him.
The other half of my soul, the part I believe I was missing.
Am I whole?
With deadened senses, I watched him emerge,
heard him speak,
I felt again.
Slowly he helped me truly wake up.
Gradually, hesitantly, I began to trust.
I was afraid to.
He told me he wasn't like the others.
He assured me that he would stay by my side.
I believed him.
I was a fool.
He spoke a twisted truth.
He wasn't like the others.
He was worse.
Because they never pretended to care;
He did.
Because they didn't know me;
He knew everything: my secrets, fears, hopes and dreams.
They ignored me;
He tortured me with his company.
He has plans.
They don't involve me, but he needs me.
He's told me this many times, in varying tones, that all carry the same message:
I don't care about you. No one cares about you. You will do what I tell you, or else.
You are everything you have ever thought about yourself - weak, unworthy, unwanted - and more.
No one can save me.
No one is listening.
No one cares.
I am in agony.
Hope you liked it. I am hoping to write a series of poems showing the character development of Bakura. Please let me know if you would like to read future poems (not all of them will be this angst-y). Thank you so much to everyone who has read this poem! Please review if you can, I would love to hear your thoughts, any suggestions or requests for future poems. Just a warning, though: It may be a while before I post another poem/chapter since I'm busy with school work, and I usually need inspiration to write.
Thanks everyone!
