I would never have done it.

If I could have known where this path would take me, I would have never picked it up. I look back on what I did, and the hind sight is killing me a second time. If only my past idealist self could see me now. I had the right idea, make the world a better place. I went about it in the worst way.

A merciless dictator could never make the world a peaceful place. There would always be rebellion and fear in the hearts of people who had done nothing wrong.

There were so many points along the way that I could have righted myself. I could have left it lying there, like I originally intended on doing; I just had to pick it up. I could have never tried to use it; curiosity killed the cat. I could have burned it, torn it up, threw it in the ocean, after I realized it was real; I chose not to.

That's where I went wrong; that was the point of no return. That moment, when I decided I was going to create a new world. The moment I thought I was a god. That was the moment that I stopped thinking justly, righteously. That was the moment when my fate had been decided.

But, I ask myself, if I could see me now, If I could have chosen not to pick it up, while knowing what it did, would I?


So, its just a drabble, but it sort of just came to me and wrote itself.

If you can't tell, (and I would hope you could) its basically just Kira thinking about what he did with his life.

I realize he contradicts himself at the beginning and end, but its supposed to be like that. Its alluding to the fact that the way Light thought at the end of the series was very contradictory of his ideals in the beginning.

Thanks for reading! Review!
