Identification: Shadow the Hedgehog
Darkness and red blood streaks. A full moon lights up my life. I am trying, I am failing. What am I? Hero, or villain?
A blonde human, my only friend. Sweet Maria, gone is my light. Once I thought my life was gone. Chaos brings me elegant rebirth.
Devouring chaos, burning my world in an endless flame. Seeking, fighting, never finding. What exactly am I looking for? The soft, merciful darkness of a cold winter's night, the smell of smoke, robots all around me, eyes red like blood.
Will I care? How can I? Perhaps I'll never feel any pain. Nothing in this world can hurt me, but how my heart is stabbed! Secrets that are my own I cannot even reach. Cold to the touch and far away. How many times will I lose the only thing I have?
Sweet memory…Maria!
Seeking the truth, feasting on lies. Why must the chaos pull me? If I can disappear in a mere second, why, then, do I wish to stay? Questions, questions, a million abound. Questions, questions, and not an answer to be found.
Why? Why?
Why must the cruelty continue?
I have taken up the gun, the knife, creating violence in a world that's violent. Fears and killing. I long to kill. Perhaps that will fill the void. How can my heart be stabbed, if I was born without a heart? What makes me wear my blood upon my skin? I'll fix this! Maria!
I'll make the world pay, I'll let the world be. How many times will they mess up until they come crying back to me? How can I be a savior, if I feel like the devil? No, I'm nothing like him…take me back! Drag me back! Sweet darkness of a moonless night!
I don't want to be a savior, and yet I truly must. For Maria. For the world. He cannot last forever.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for me.
