The Reasons that I See
((A/N: Alrightie, my first CCS poem, and about my 3rd or 4th anime poem, so please be gentle. Thankee!))
I look down at the ground,
Many avoid me,
Because of the patience and friendship in my heart I have not found.
I often wonder why I bother,
To care from day to day.
Because all I ever speak or hear,
Are evil things to say.
I hurt Sakura's feelings, brush off Madison, annoy Li,
But I suppose no one can view the reasons that I see.
I cry at night because I'm scared...alone...and afraid.
Scared to risk my life at night, fighting a battle for which I was not made.
Alone because I loose my temper, a flaw that I work on,
But I'm afraid to loose my life,
To loose Li, and yes, even Sakura and Madison.
Afraid that I won't make it, and fail my generation.
Elders are counting on me, all the way from across the seas...
I feel the pressure from all around, almost choking me.
I see all the times that Li has almost lost,
All the times Sakura had to face a great big cost.
And I wish that I can find a shred of courage and magic within me,
Not for myself, mind you, but to help my friends, you see.
So I narrow my eyes, take a haughty stance,
Affraid to take a chance.
Pride and arrogance is my shield.
But inside I'm lost in a black and bleak old field.
A field that rests inside my heart, the day I came to Japan,
And I am lost, and used to it, I'd help it if I can.
But since I can't I have to live, in fear from day-to-day,
Until that maybe just once,
I'll find the courage,
And something nice to say.
