Yami-chan: Konnichiwa minna-san!
Who thought I would write poetry? Actually, I didn't have a choice. It was an assignment in English class. We picked a poem's title and then wrote our own poem with that title.
I stink at poetry, but I found I am somewhat better when I write from someone else's P.O.V. In this poem, Vincent Valentine.
Never Again
Never again will I make the same mistake again
Just watching as my world faded in front of me
Never again will I see the light of day as joyous and wonderful
But now as a beacon of light, fading away and exposing the sin inside me
Sweet seclusion
No mistakes can be formed
But even as my inner demons torment me,
Reminding me of my follies,
I plan on how to hide from the world yet another day
But now as I sleep, alone yet again
A sweet, gentle voice of hope
Tells me to delay the darkest day yet again
The day I would take my own life
Or else let my demons consume me
But the voice, now long extinguished
Urges me to go on, painful day by day
Even now, as my world falls apart in front of me
Unseen by others
I shoulder my burden and carry on
Never again will I stand by
And watch my world disappear once more
I know I cannot run forever
Am I a coward?
Not wanting to face my torturous past?
I still carry the marks of that day
The day I changed
The day my world was plunged into darkness
But others, just that handful of others
Urge me to go on
Replacing the angelic voice
A new feeling blossoms within me
I'll go on, for them
Never again will I make that same mistake again
