Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, but I did come up w/ this poem on my own.

A/N: Like I said, this is a very short poem about Gohan. It mostly refers to him when he was younger. Well, hope you like and please review.

Child

What happens to a child, who witnesses things that no child should ever see?

A child, forced by his surroundings to grow up.

A child, having to act as a man, but cannot.

A child, living in a world of light, happiness, and love.

A child, living in a world of darkness, pain, and hate.

A child, wanting to be a scholar, as his mother wishes.

A child, wanting to be a warrior, to make his father proud.

A child; both boy and man, both light and dark, both scholar and warrior.

One child, all of these, yet none at all.

Such is Son Gohan.
