Disclaimer/AN: I don't own DBZ or any characters obviously, otherwise I'd be rich! =D This is a poem (sorta? --!) About Gohan's feelings about the cell games and how it effected him for so long… I suck at poetry oki so don't be mean about it -_-! Reviews are always welcome…thanks. Special appearances by Picciolo and Goku. =^-^=
"I'm A Soldier"
: Chaos-Knight
I'm a soldier constant and weary
Once life dies everyone's sad and teary
Tears of pain tears of sorrow
Waking up not knowing if you'll be alive there tomorrow……
The future is the ever-changing upon the horizon
And that's where I look in a dreadful glare,
It's spirit vs. spirit with a gleaming flare.
I will succeed and bring peace to this land,
All I have to do is trust me and present the power from my unworthy hand.
Father is gone, yet I stand pure and strong
My power unwavering ready to put cell back to where he belong
Forceful energy flows from within my veins,
I pushed onward as I shiver from the cold harsh rains.
Daddy, came to my rescue he saved the day!
It's him that is owed the credit not by me and my selfish way…
I sit here now 4 years later wondering how it could be,
He's really dead because of me..?
I'm so rude so ignorant to betray my father's commands,
Now he had to pay the price, I killed him, with these blood stained hands!
How can I go on knowing what I have done?
I keep slashing myself on and on…
Blood flows from my wrist,
Eyes near closing like a frozen mist.
I can now hear my friend approaching and a deadly silence comes near,
Now I am free from this pain…from this never-ending fear.
Why can I just go to the other world with a smile
Because now I'm going to pay the price soon, after a long while…
Father wouldn't let it happen, he made sure of that,
As Picciolo rushed to my side like a fierce cat.
He yells, shouts something 'damn' then wraps the wound tightly,
I can feel his touch, his hands ever so slightly.
I am saved once again, father why can't you just let me die?
"Because son, then I would cry…
You don't deserve the torment upon your broken heart,
You did everything you could that day, you just need a new start…
Don't burden yourself with the past my son,
Take off to the new tomorrow, don't run.
I'll be home soon one day, you will see…
Till then just be there for me."
His presence left me like a cold smack in the face,
Some reason I find myself still strong even after the race.
Race of finding myself again from the unchanging nothingness I once was,
Tears don't come from my eyes anymore…cause,
As I said before, "I'm a Soldier…and something more."
