Hey all, ishbal poem I wrote. Sry that it's a little scatterbrained, but I kept getting new ideas for poems, and kinda incorporated them all into one not to mention i wrote it during history when my mind was sort of working hard on taking notes.. Again I apologize. By the way, my friends say I get way too overdramatic when I read this, and sadly (ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY) it makes them break out laughing, if it has the same effect on any of you, please review and tell me WHY! Anyway, enjoy. Oh, I just got an idea, I have the poems that I developed from main ideas in this poem, so ill just post those as later chapters so we can all contrast and compare how much they stink kk well, here u go.


I'm Afraid

The world crumbles at my feet

As I stand waiting for hope that never comes

And I wonder why i'm not crying

When the earth is already stained red

Stained with the blood of my comrades

While i'm stuck here between life and death

Which one is worse?

I almost want to raise my head and laugh

At the absurdity of it all

At how bitter the irony is

That no matter how often people cry out for humanity

In reality it's so easy to take human life

So I look into the sun

And I hear the people around me talking

Saying that i'm brave, and bold, and looking to the future.

But they don't know the truth.

They don't know that i'm afraid to do anything else

Afraid to look down

I might see my hands

I might see the blood seeping through my fingers

The sight already haunts my dreams to the point

Where I can no longer tell reality from fantasy

The ships smash to pieces on the rocks

And my eyes run dry in the desert sun

I'd say i'm too young but ill never be old enough

And saying i'm innocent would just be a lie

Part of my soul drips away day by day

And no matter how much I tell my self it is

This isn't hell, it's worse

It's ishbal, and i'm afraid

Well, how was that? Please r&r, I eat up reviews like a rabid schizophrenic monkey and FLAMES ARE WELCOME, because i feel like flaming myself for this. Hope you liked it, or at least suffered through it till the end. Bye

-Icarus enjoyed the view (weird name i know, but its based off of my favorite line in any fanfic ever)

Roy: (dying) sorry riza, I guess you regret flying to close to the sun.

Riza: (crying) not at all sir, Icarus enjoyed the view all the way down to hell
