A/N: My first attempt at non-rhyming poetry. It started out as me whining about getting in trouble again. Then it turned into Near talking about Mello. Now it's Mello talking about Near. ^^ This is about when Near is chosen as L's successor.


The decision is made

Your face is apathetic

Your eyes are dry

But my world shatters

Before me

It can't be! This is wrong!

There's no way you won again

It's just not fair

You always win

Ev'ry time

No! I refuse to lose

I've worked my whole life for this

You won't beat me

I can still win

Just you wait

So what if you were picked?

I'll be first aother way

I'll leave this place

I'll surpass you

On my own

And when that does happen

Even more importantly

Than being first

Is the fact that

You won't be


A/N: So how was it? Good? Bad? So horrible that I should never attempt anything like it again? Tell me. If it's not totally suckish then I plan on turning it in for my creative writing club assignment.
