Sailor Venus: Heart On a String

Born a new me,
Shedding my identity,
Erasing my past,
Beginning from scratch,
With only my friends
To hold my hand,
And only my soul
To brush off the white sand
That was sticking
To
My
Skin.
New powers,
New clothes,
Passing hours,
Out with the old,
Forget all the pain,
And remember the joy,
Nothing's the same,
Look away from the boys.
Only one for me now,
Destiny says,
A woman who was once a friend.
I will be at her side every single day
Protecting her in every single way
that
I
can.
She is my life,
My Breath,
The reason of my existence,
Then why, why, why,
Am I feeling this resistence?
Gone are my dreams,
My desires,
My wishes
And gone are my dreadings,
My terrors, and petitions.
I am not angry,
Remorseful or sad,
I don't even regret the
Things I once had.
No chance of romance
For me to begin with,
Succesful career ventures
Only drifted
Only drifted
Away.
There was only her for me
At the end,
To her my love can
Only be sent.
My eight cherished friends
Will be at my aid,
But my queen is my chariot,
It was by she I was saved.
I cannot regret the choice
which I made,
To let go of my life,
Walk towards her,
And stay.
But as I am changing,
Transforming,
Retaining the power of
The Leader of guards
I think of that one...
That one cherished thing,
That thing that still holds
My heart on a string,
Tied to another's equally seeking
The ultimate
Ultimate
Ultimate Dreaming.
The ultimate dreaming
Of one's truly
Most passionate
Eternal true love...

Notes: I wrote this late at night after I finished drawing a
picture of Sailor Venus in a new fuku. I was thinking about
the Sailor Cosmos fuku, and how everybody must have gained
new powers by that time.
And for some reason, I was brooding over how Usagi gets the
PERFECT life, fulfills all of her dreams, gets the guy, saves
the world, blah blah blah, while the others are just...
there.
It's not that I don't care about Usagi. No way, I love her.
It's just that I keep reading in the manga about how the
other senshi are only reborn to protect the princess, how
their destinies are ONLY to protect her.
And maybe I have it wrong, but I still don't agree with it.
Yes, I see that they willingly give up their lives to become
the guardians of Neo Queen Serenity, and yes I understand
that they seem quite content and happy... but that really
doesn't make any sense, does it?
They have all these dreams during the manga, they work hard
towards them, to fulfill them, but once Usagi has gotten all
of her heart's desires, they seem perfectly happy just to be
at her side.
The act of sacrifice is something I just don't understand
sometimes. How the other girls can be perfectly happy just
to take care of the queen while they let go of their dreams.
I don't consider myself selfish... I think there are times
when you DEFINITELY should put other people first... but
giving away your ENTIRE life...
Naoko-sensei had really given them no choice.
Who knows? Maybe they have some sort of compromise at the
palace... but the point of life is to travel along the path
of discovery, to fulfill dreams, to meet a destiny that is
full of love, right?
Then why does Serenity have to be the ONLY one to take up the
hearts of the senshi? I can't believe a heart is that small.
Sailor Venus will always fall in love, no matter what... it's
her nature... but it is impossible for her to keep it, all
because of her duty to Neo Queen Serenity.
This is just my speculation, and if you would like to clear
things up for me, I would LOVE it. My e-mail address is
Sarah_neko3000@hotmail.com. Just know, that I'm not holding
anything against Usagi, or Naoko Takeuchi... I just don't
neccesarily agree with what she's saying about destiny
and reincarnation.
You are reborn for yourself... that is my firm belief. You
may love others along the way, make soul connections, but
your existence is for YOU. You just might have agreed to
become the super herione Sailor Venus and save the world.
