Burdens

XCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXC

I stand within

A shadow of Greatness,

Legend,

Responsibility,

And burden;

His voice fills me

With purpose,

Turning my love

Into cold ashes;

Perfection,

Power,

Logic,

Always my weapons.

XCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXC

Your blood taints

My world,

Death and despair

Only follow your birth,

Shame and hatred

In flame my memories,

A larger figure is

To blame my reaction

To you.

XCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXC

His Sacrifice

Left behind a

Cold,

Ruthless,

Numbness;

Black holes of

Nothingness

Invading

Already twisted heart,

Leaving you as

An only result.

XCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCXCCXCXCXCXCCCX

Traits of him

Live within you,

Yet, you are allowed

To deny

His burdens,

His existence,

For your life;

I await the day,

You will surpass him,

To watch you fall,

Destroy yourself

At the end,

By my will and hands alone,

My eternity opponent,

Annoying half – breed,

Foolish little brother.

Well, do you like it? Believe it needs more work? Or it sucked? I would appreciated any reviews that you send me, but any flames for using a character or theme you don't like will be sent in the atmosphere and use to increase global warming. So, don't review me any flames, please. However, constructive criticism is welcomed.

Any way, here is Sesshoumaru view of Inuyasha in the first season of the anime. I tried to make it as realistic as possible. Hopefully, I had succeeded to do so. Inuyasha's viewpoint poem was also based on the anime's first season.

P.S.: I will let the reviewer who can guess correctly about the figure mentioned throughout this poem to pick the next sibling rivalry pairing. I will write a poem for each of the siblings from their viewpoint based on the first season of the anime. So, review your answer to me and maybe you get to pick your favorite sibling pairing. Remember, the first person with the correct guess gets the prize.
