FREEDOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew I was chasing something imaginary. Who has ever heard of a man becoming God? I was chasing a dream....
A childish dream that could never come true....
Why?
To get revenge. Revenge on those who humiliated me. Who used me. Who took away my innocence. Everything I had.
Everything I had...
All gone....
Just mere ashes in the wind.
Nothing more than a memory.
I wanted so much, so much to be understood, to be loved...
But, no, fate was cruel. Cruel and harsh.
Why the discrimination? Because I belong to a tribe who worship Tenkou? Or is it because I am a seishi?
In fact, everything is like a dream now. Seiryuu doesn't exist. If he did, he would have helped me. These powers...
Are just advantages. To get my revenge.
Blinded by anger, blinded by hatred. Nothing will stop me!!! The impossible will be possible!!! I will become a god, worshipped and feared by many. I will..
I will turn my heart into stone. No feelings, no emotions. No love. No tears.
I couldn't help it. I saw these as a disadvantage.
If you don't give your heart to someone, you've got nothing to lose.
No, nothing to lose. Just win.
Somewhere in that heart of stone was a prison.
A little innocent boy trapped in there.
Golden hair and beautiful blue eyes.
Looking so sad. Trapped like a bird in a cage. A cage filled with tears.
Why?
Because he knows that he cannot be free.
Why?
Because a man with ice blue eyes has taken over.
Sometimes, looking at the stars, I wondered what my destiny is.
I'm so confused.
To get revenge, must I really stop loving?
Stop feeling?
Stop crying?
Forget about those who once loved me?
Or is there another way?
It's too late. Too late for anything. Too late to turn back now. I've come so far. I won't stop. Never!
Until....
I watched as Tamahome punched me. Surprisingly, his hand burst through my armour and body. He punched through my heart.
I can see it now.
That innocent boy, running towards the open prison door. Running towards freedom. Tears spilling out.
Why?
Because he knows, he knows that it's over. No more hiding. No more coldness. No more silence.
Free.
Free like the birds soaring in the sky.
The blue sky, as blue as his beautiful eyes.
That's it. Being free.
A tear rolled down my cheek. Another. And another.
Finally, I can be free.
Just like those tears that were kept hidden for so long.
I am free...
