Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. I don't own Ken. I don't own Wormmon. I don't own any part of Digimon or any other anime. Got it?
Author's note: I can't believe I went this long without writing a poem like this! Ken poetry has been at the back of my mind for a long time now and I finally wrote it! I have no idea why I wrote it now. I just kind of felt like writing poetry last night, so I did. *shrug* Anyway, this poem has a few minor problems, but I like it. Maybe I'll do a rewrite at some point if I figure out some good adjustments to make. Then again, maybe I'll just leave it. ^^ Well, enjoy.
Forgiveness
By Kiko Tomodachi
I don't want to remember who I used to be;
Evil, torturous, and proud of it, too.
I hate to think of that horrible me;
That me that didn't have a clue.
I never thought about what I did.
Power was my only goal.
I never knew when reality slid
Away from me and I lost control.
"It's all a game" I used to say
Until my thoughts were proven wrong.
It all came to a close on that fateful day;
A day I'll remember for so long.
That was the day that Wormmon died.
My protector; faithful friend.
Tears of anguish then I cried.
He'd been so loyal to the end.
I'd never payed attention before,
Not in my terrible uncaring state.
It seemed I'd never see him anymore.
What a horribly cruel twist of fate!
Amazingly, fate took a turn,
Letting my heart fill with glee,
Allowing Wormmon's safe return,
Giving my friend back to me.
I wonder if I've really changed;
If I really left my old self behind.
It seems to me a little strange
That I don't even know my own mind.
I wish I could just get away
From the memories that never leave.
Friendly and caring; gentle they say?
Even now I find that hard to believe.
My friends have all forgiven me;
Put their doubts on some back shelf
They believe I'm not who I used to be.
Why can't I forgive myself?
