A poem in relation about my OC. Though personally this is one truly based on my personal life
Meaning to go Onwards
Should I forfeit?
Let it all end at a one swift stroke?
I held out my blade, preparing to make the final blow
I tighten my grip
Closed my eyes
And prepare for death
Yet a hand halted me
Opening my eyes again, I saw her
With tearful eyes and pleading me to stop
But how could I?
Life had struck me to the deepest core
Nothing else but death awaits me
I told her to let me do this
Just to end my suffering
Yet, she persists to listen
Why would she forbid me for doing this?
I've hurt her feeling as well
It was foolish of me to use her as a sample of my love
To think they would finally ignore me
Saying her name, aches my heart ever more
How could I be so foolish
To use her to just let them leave me be
That's not how you treated them
Not as a tool
But a true person
I've known this before long
Yet my mind is shrouded with thoughts
Not thinking clearly
I've let it spat out for no reason
To just get them off my back
With no regrets nor remorse
Back to what it seemed to be
She told me that this world is not what is seemed
Or that I thought it to be
Not everything is in control
For WE are in control
Of our fates
We can change ourselves
For the better of our lives
Don't take the world so negatively
Life just goes forward
Everything happens for a reason
I maybe a complete stranger to you
But I know this; you're strong willed and capable of things that you're born to do
Don't let this get to you ever more
Otherwise, it'll devour you
So please don't do this
There are more things that life has in store for you
Don't let it go to wasted
It will spark one day for you
I know you're a warrior at heart
Always caring for others
Helping at their time of need
In despite of what you were lacking
Yet, you gave all what you have to do.
I too didn't forget that you were a poet
Always expressing his thoughts freely
Neither be rhymed nor to be formal
Though you chose words wisely
As to not get the others misunderstood
I know we are different from each other
And everyone has its own unique aspects from within
To you, I found it most to be impressive
I'm glad to met someone like you
Above all else,
I'm your friend
And friends always stick to each other
No matter the circumstances are
I'm here for you.
All those words
I felt speechless
I couldn't respond
She was right
How could I let myself give in to such despair
How ignorant am I to be to not understand it
I was letting it to take control of me
Controlling of my own fate
Yet, after all, we were the ones in control
To decide of what our paths may be
Our destiny is on our own choosing
Not to some programming or script
Our fates can be shapen to what we desire
To what we prefer it to be.
I understand now
If it weren't for her
I would be still in despair
Shrouded in the mist of my eternal anguish
Thanks to her
She helped me open to my eyes
Now with full understanding
I embraced this world that I am in
I lowered my blade
Dropped it to the ground
I approached her
I hugged her
And let go afterwards
I thank her for everything
Those words she spoken
Cleansed my inner thoughts
I was now able regain clearly
Though the journey just begun
I head towards my armory
Leaving her confused
I put on my battle armour
And returned to see her with a shocking expression
I told her that the my journey has beguth a new
I know I wasn't able to regain those on what I before
Yet, I must proceed onward
Now that I see this world in a new perspective
I retrieved my blade and sheated in its scabbard
I head towards the door
She shouted my name
I stopped without turning back
She asks when will I return
I remained silent
Though I should answer
So, I replied
I will return no longer
This world
This very place we are in
Is full of mysteries
This path I thread at a new cloth
Weaves the beginning of my journey
A new line beguth a new
A new adventure starts
You said it earlier
There are things that life has in store me out there
And I'm going to find it
No matter what it is
I felt she was getting sad
Though I have to get this through
To get her know that I'm content to my decision
I continued
I know you worry about me
But I have to do this
Though, Suddenly I feel a pair of arms wrapping against my torso
Holding me
She spoken to me
I know what you're going to do
And I respect that
It's your decision
If it satisfy you, then no point of me of intervening
Go now if you must
But be careful
Your next step towards the unknown
Is through the path of your destiny
And I believe you can pull through
Don't be apprehensive towards others
Press your determination to the limits
And all will be coming swiftly as you go
Dunno of how she was this clever of her words
Yet, she was correct again
I have to take note of it
As a guide towards my new adventure
I gently let her go
Thanking her again
Know not much how I say this again
But how could I not?
It's my way of showing my gratitude to her
Now that all is settled
I bid her farewell
And set out to my new journey
But before I could
As I was about to exit my hometown
I saw her... No
Not only her
But the rest of them as well
And... they were waving their hands
I hear them shouting my name and as too say farewell
I couldn't help but smile
I turned back at them one last time
And waved back at them, smiling
After that
I proceeded
Towards to my new adventure
What dangers lies beyond?
Though does not matter to me
For that matters
I have found the purpose of moving onwards
Thinking would I stop anytime now
The next step towards the unknown
Is to move onwards
And that's how it is
Moving onwards towards a new life...
