Shimoyuki: Yay! I finally decided on making a poem about the fruits basket characters specifically the Sohmas that have the curse and Tohru. I might change that later on when I continue to write poems for these characters. And yes, these are a series of poems that describe them. I will publish these poems in no specific order so if you want to read a specific character, it may take a while. Oh and if anyone has other suggestions for me to do the poems besides the ones I've said, you may do so. Also I've done a poem dedicated to Yuki a long time ago, but this one will be different when I write one about Yuki (which will be in a while). A better version of it I must say. I hope you would read and review them and as usual no flames please!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET! Natsuki Takaya owns it.


I'm so sorry.

Forgive me for what I have done.

All the failures I've been,

So painful.

---

Inside my heart,

I know it isn't my fault.

But I keep apologizing.

---

I feel so depressed.

These events that I see in my own eyes,

Makes me feel like I'm a person of no use.

I have no use in this world

Especially with this sinful curse.

I feel so timid having that curse.

---

But with these precious clothes,

Woman clothes,

I feel a bit confident.

However,

I still think that I'm such a huge disgrace to my family.

---

At times I am such a gullible person.

But I don't notice this happening

Because I always make myself feel useless

And passive.

---

Why am I doing this?

Making myself feel like I don't exist when I do.

Why do I blame everything at me?

I know that a lot of them weren't my fault,

Or the people that I love.

But why do I keep doing it?

Is it because I'm so used to it?

---

Is the monkey that I transform the real me?

The one I've been hiding for a long time?

Why is it that I was born with this curse?

A curse that turns me into a monkey.

An innocent monkey.

---

Although,

My hidden self is revealed.

This person in front of me sees it.

The monkey that nobody would expect from me.

This person, Tohru

Some stranger that I don't know very well

Is seeing the true me.

---

I was scared to let it happen,

But with confidence,

I was able to tell her the truth.

After I told her the truth,

I was relieved.

Happy to know that somebody else besides the Sohmas knowing it.

I felt different,

But in a good way.

---

I really felt like I was a special person.

A special person that really existed.

This feeling,

The feeling of being appreciated was so rare

I never experienced before

Until now.


Shimoyuki: Thank you for reading chapter one and reviews are recommended, just no flames. Also depending on my mood, I may make the poem long. But for now it may take a while for me to upload the next poem especially that I have a lot of fanfics to update.
