Independence
It's been five years since I found out that I had mitochondrial powers…
People have always been scared of it.
I've always worked alone…
It never got to me, though.
I never wanted it to…
Because…
Because…
If I did
Then I would be denying the one thing that I have that most people don't appreciate…
Freedom,
Independence…
Freedom not in ways that people might expect…
But freedom and independence to be who I want to be.
I'm chained by this curse…or gift, whatever makes you happy.
But at least I make my own decisions.
I made the decision to carry on Maya's powers
I made that decision myself.
People overlook this
Funny, even I only noticed it after I became this…monster…so to speak.
People look too hard.
They try to find happiness,
In the wrong places.
I was never really a religious person, but…
I think God has a reason for giving me this "power"
He made me realize that I have a bigger purpose in this life.
What did I get that others fail to see?
Well…
I'll start by saying that,
Love is important.
But it doesn't rule our lives…
Sometimes,
Being alone is good enough
Actually, it's the best thing that can ever happen to our lives.
I like my freedom…
I like my independence…
I don't follow anyone else.
I don't rely on anyone to put food on my table.
I do all these myself.
…Because I enjoy my independence.

A/N: Yes, yet another poem. I wrote this as a result of listening to "If I Were A Boy" by Beyonce a tad bit much ^_^ It may sound like Aya's a bit OOC. I apologize, but please give me feedback. I accept any constructive crticism. The best writers are the products of constructive crtiticism given by the ever-faithful readers...not to mention some reading and practice. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PARASITE EVE, OR BEYONCE, OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER!
