Life Through My Eyes

A/N: I didn't want to keep using the horizontal lines because I thought they would be pretty annoying, but sorry if its a bit cramped up. PM me or review if you think I should use the horizontal lines to seperate different sections of the poem. First chapter. More author notes at the bottom.


Chapter 1: Entering the Entrance of Life


Christmas

The day I was born

Or at least, that's what I was told.

The first thing I remembered were the burning fields of Ikaruga.

Why was I there?

All I felt was death creeping up on me…

Until I was adopted by the Vermillion family.

Nobles, important people, right?

I didn't care though.

I was just happy that they expressed care,

Love,

Support.

These were the characteristics of my parents.

Brave,

Strong,

And I loved them.

Loneliness

Terror

Death

That's all I felt that day.

That monster petrified me.

I was sure that I would die.

I just wanted to tell my parents I loved them,

Before it all came crashing down…

I closed my eyes…

But the only thing that crashed were my hands,

Under the intense weight of something, but what?

I opened my eyes…and saw two guns.

…What?

Even to this day I still don't understand.

Why?

Why me?

All of a sudden, the monster was dead.

It felt like my mind left my body.

…But after all these years, I finally understand.

Shy

Awkward

Clumsy

Those are words to describe me at the Academy.

Tsubaki

Makoto

Carl

These are the names of the people that meant the most.

They were my meaning of life.

They were my first friends.

They were my everything.

Energetic

Eccentric

Loving

That is what Makoto was to me.

She was my best friend,

And I won't let anyone take her away from me.

What would I be without her?

Certainly a complete wreck.

...Even if she did eat too much,

I still loved her.

Intelligent

Serious

Comforting

That is what Tsubaki was to me.

She was my other best friend, alongside Makoto.

She taught me so much,

And I appreciate that.

Even if she was a bit uptight.

...No, REALLY uptight.

I still loved her too.

Adorable

Perceptive

Endearing

That is what Carl was to me.

Ive never met someone so cute in my life.

...Maybe i'm saying too much, but really, he was.

And he was so smart, yet so young...

I really appreciated his presence, perhaps a little too much though.

No, he deserves every bit of love and care.

Jin

No, Jin Kisaragi.

That boy…

Mysterious,

Aloof,

And a sense of leadership.

Those are words to describe him.

It was almost as if he hated me.

He gave me these looks, but I never did anything to him…

Or did I?

Maybe Tsubaki knows…

Makoto and I are positive that she likes him.

Perhaps if we got her to be more open about herself,

Maybe she will finally confess her feelings to him.

…Oh my god, what am I saying?

I need to mind my own business…


A/N: ...And I hope I did good on this. Once again, sorry if its cramped up. Please review, and favorite/follow if you liked it. Next chapter is coming tomorrow :)
