Disclaimer: don't own Cloud…. wish I did…. but I don't……

NC: I've desperately wanted to write a poem about Cloud for the longest time, now I finally got a good one… or at least I hope it is, just a short lil poem that just summons up a lot about him, mainly his connection to the ShinRa and Jenova, the whole 'your nothing but a puppet' thing. Is leaning toward CloudAerith but isn't mentioned very much… tell me what you think….

Disregarded puppet
By Lyra-san

A puppet
A tool
A lie
A fool

A disregarded puppet
With missing memories
Silly little puppet
Worthless human being

That's what you called me
A failed human being
What I was to you was worthless
To you I had no purpose

May I ask you a question?
Since this is now mentioned

If I was so useless
How did I do this?
How did I survive
Through all of these lies

Why was the failed one
The only one to pass
While all you're other successes
Where the ones who didn't last

Even in my glory
Its still as dark as night
Since you took everything from me
Most importantly my light

Now that she's mentioned
Will I find redemption?
Her bloods on my hands
So I reprimand
Myself for my mistake
One which I can't escape

I went into this war knowing very little
When it began I was stuck in the middle

Fight for freedom or die a slave
Live up to the name you gave
Or live a life with some worth
By saving the dying planet earth

I choose my path
The one immense
The Turks and ShinRa
I went against

I fought and battled and struggled and won
Without really knowing what was going on
Since mind and memories
Thanks to you had been erased
And the one closets to me
Had been ripped out of place

Though I had proven
You wrong in every way
I remained unnoticed
With attention unpaid

You gave me no number
As a consequence for my sin
I shouldn't have care
But it hurt deep within

All my life I had no friends
Attention cannot be recalled
Nothing but disregard these past few years
Never shown love at all

Things are different now as you can plainly see
I've gained some friends
And lost insecurity

This disregarded puppet
Is no longer serving
The likes of you or anyone else
For you are not deserving

Though I am stronger
I am no longer
Fit to help no one
It's the path I have chosen

This disregarded puppet
Chooses to live alone
It's been bruised too much
And has no where to call home

With cut strings
And more of a past
This puppet moves on
Without looking back

Fin…

NC: ok, tell me reviewer what did you think?
