First, I would like to say that I know that it's only one poem I was supposed to write, but I just got so into in! XD
Tigerclaw
I saw him before
I saw that ginger pelt before
I saw those leaf-green eyes before
He haunted my dreams
He mocked me in my dreams
He was always one step ahead of me in my dreams
That's when he arrived
His head lifted in pride
His eyes full of wonder
I wanted to cringe away from him
I knew he was the cat from my dreams
But I knew I didn't want to be cowardly in front of him
Besides, he was only a kittypet right?
Oh, how wrong I was
He was portrayed as the great and mighty warrior
Destined to become great
Destined to save the Clans from the growing danger
I lay here feeling bewilderment,
Fury,
And nervousness
This "high-and-mighty" warrior had the strength of a thousand warriors
He had many loyal followers
And he had the tribe of stars on his side
All I have is dreams of torment
I have very few followers
And while he is feeling pride, I am feeling jealousy
I hated him because of his power
I wanted that power
I always have
Why does he deserve it?
He's a kittypet!
I have been a warrior for moons!
So, I went on strike against my Clan
I knew it wasn't right
But if a kittypet can gain so much power I could throw a riot against my Clan for being so stupid
I made alliances that I shouldn't have made
I forgotten about one hidden enemy
He came back with an unexpected blow
Now I'm dead
Forced into a world of darkness and rage
I would get my revenge, even if it means destroying everything I once knew and loved
I never wanted this to happen
I never wanted to go against the Clans
But all of the boiled up anger and rage has burst through its cage
I have made mistakes in my life
Forming alliances with strangers
Shedding blood
But, I never wanted to bring destruction
It was his entire fault
He got in the way of my dreams!
Is it not reasonable for me to get revenge?
Is it not reasonable to hold a grudge upon the cat that destroyed me?
Tell me, should I not feel scorn towards him?
Well, that was possibly one of the worst mistakes I have ever made
He came back when I retaliated
His claws scored across my skin
My blood poured out onto his claws
I lay here once again
Dying
Bleeding out
Thinking three questions…
How many mistakes have I made?
How many lives have those mistakes taken?
Why?
Ivypool
I saw it portrayed many times
All laced into one thread
All formed many faces
What was it you may ask?
It was greatness
And I showed none of that
I broke that thread
I was ripped off of the end and disregarded by the powers of the high expectation
I was casted aside and left to stare in bewilderment
Now here I am, feeling anger,
Rage,
And fury
All jumbled up in a boiling knot
I wanted to be a part of that thread
I wanted to be a part of the generations of cats whose images frame that one word
I seemed to have been given a second chance
He was so friendly and welcoming
I was entranced by his promise of power and a chance of a legacy
It was perfect
Until I found out what it really was
A rebellion against the Clans
Cats who swore vengeance on cats who betrayed them while they still walked the earth
But my sister was beginning to be ahead of me
Always ahead of me by one step
Always one paw-step too far
So, I went along with the cats
I wanted to prove that I was great
Even if it meant betraying my own Clan
But the promises they whispered in our ears made me more eager to learn
I trained hard, learned more than my Clanmates would ever learn
I felt bigger than each and every cat in my Clan
Yet, I was completely wrong
Three cats were ahead of me by a million steps
Each as strong as the stars themselves
One of them was my sister
My fury grew
My rage grew
My hate grew
Though, they bitterly hissed that I was doing wrong by training with the rebellious cats
Saying that I was betraying my Clan and doesn't know what was coming for me
I didn't listen to their nonsense though
The plan was finally revealed to us
They said it would change the Clans forever
They said that the darkness will defeat the stars and take over the Clans
I now understood
I now only felt fear creeping up my spine
I knew they sensed it
I was sent in as a spy
I was sent in to help the Clans
Yet, I was still betraying them
What is right from wrong anymore?
I was caught
The words that flung out of their mouths were hurtful, yet the one the held was that stung the most
Traitor! Traitor!
I fought fiercely,
The words ebbed in the back of my mind
It was somewhat hard to concentrate
Then came along a black cat
It threw itself in front of me
Taking a fatal blow
I felt regret pulse through me
I deserved that gash
I deserve to be bleeding out
I no longer know what is right from wrong
I always feel a pang of regret piercing in my heart
And always, one question comes into my mind at night before I drift into slumber
Do I deserve life?
Silverstream
I was always loyal to my Clan
Dedicated to the responsibility of a warrior
Ebbed into the laws of the sacred code
That's until I met him
His yellow eyes sparkling with kindness
And his lips curled back in an amused grin
I wished I hadn't fallen for him
I wish I wouldn't have given into his pleads for me to return to him
I wish I hadn't betrayed my Clan
But he was so friendly
He was so gentle
He was perfect
I never understood what was wrong with stepping out of our boundaries to seek out true love
Certainly StarClan would want you to be happy right?
Why wouldn't they give into true love?
We continued to meet
Our love grew more passionate
Our love grew stronger
Yet, that caused conflicts
He fought with his best friend
Just to defend his love for me
I felt a pang of sadness
I broke a part their friendship
He certainly didn't deserve this
Another conflict arose,
Between me and my father
He told me I was betraying the Clan, he told me I was betraying him
I didn't listen to him though
I retorted, saying that nothing was wrong with our love
And nothing was going to break us apart
That's until I found I was expecting
I was overwhelmed with joy and didn't think about the true future
Only the future I imagined
Our kits would be perfect
We would be together without others looking scornfully at us
And our love would be perfect
Though, that future was brutally ripped from me
I desperately tried to reach him
Though I ended in a bloody mess
He was in so much pain
I watched him through affectionate blue eyes
Yet, my heart was twisting in agony
My life was quickly slipping from my grasp
I felt my heavy eyelids close
And I let three trembling words pass through my lips
I love you.
Swiftpaw
All I wanted to be was strong
All I wanted to peruse my dreams
All I wanted was to be a step ahead from my current rank
She made a decision
A choice
The wrong choice
She chose another to be the one who is one step ahead
She chose him to be the one to peruse his dreams
She chose him to be the one to be stronger
All I felt was anger
All I wanted to do was cry out in fury
All I wanted to do was scream
But I didn't just want to be laying around
I needed to prove myself worthy of becoming what he was
So I did what I thought was best
I took my best friend out
Promising that we would become what we always dreamed of
I knew she was reluctant to agree, but I also knew she excited
We made a choice
A decision
A wrong decision
We were ripped into battle
Large creatures with long, sharp teeth
I didn't let that pull me down though
It felt as if I was invincible
I felt all of my boiled up anger and pain break free of its cage
I fought as if it was the last day alive
Yet, it was
I watched my friend's face get brutally ripped a part
It sent pure terror through my veins
I caused it
A new layer of rage bubbled up in me
Rage for the creatures
It was passionate and strong
I leaped into battle once again
But it would be the last battle I would ever go into
It was my last legs
I felt the jaws of the creatures clamp around my small body
Pain
Searing pain
I held back the cry of agony that dared to enter my mouth
I felt my blood trickle out of the wounds and down through my pelt
Every bone in my body becoming liquid
What seemed like an eternity did the creature finally drop me
I felt weightless as I plummeted to the ground
Everything numb
That's when I saw her
She was sprawled out against the scarlet-stained grass
It twisted my heart to see her mangled like that
Was this worth it?
That was the only thought that continued to relay itself in my mind
I wished it would just go away but every time I tried it just snuck its way back in
I finally noticed her face
One of her eyes were missing
While blood covered the half of her face
I wanted to cringe but I was too weak
I wanted to feel anger towards myself but I didn't have the strength to put the emotion together
Though, I had the strength to push out two words towards her
I'm sorry
Bluestar
I lived
I loved
And I lost
I have made bad choices in my life
I have caused so much pain to fall upon me
And I have let insanity overwhelm me
I was at war with cats I once believed in
I was at war with cats I once thought guided me
I was at war with everything
I can't count how many traitors have come to my doorstep
I can't count how many times I was betrayed
I can't count how many times I swore vengeance against those cats
But I was a traitor once
I took love over the code's boundaries
Given birth to kits who were children of two traitors
I was forced to watch them go
I was forced to watch one die
I was forced to say good-bye
I entered a world of solitude
Forced to keep silent of my betrayal
I held my tongue at the thought of it
I then met a cat
His eyes a warm green
While his pelt shone a bright ginger
I remembered a prophecy that whispered endlessly in my ears
I than realized that it was that cat who was destined to become the hero
I invited him into a world of destruction
I watched him grow
I watched the traitors grow
I watched life go on
It was when I was nearly killed that the insanity took over me
More death came
My rage grew
Everything around me has changed
My beliefs have been broken
And my Clan was crumbling at my paws while the traitors lurked about the trees
I was finally falling
I saved my Clan and the ginger cat
My mind has already slipped, yet I still had a mind
I was sinking,
Farther, and farther into the deep, dark abyss
Wishing I had done better with my Clan
One thought had slipped into my mind as I sunk deeper
A thought I have been meaning to think for a while now
Yet, it never entered my mind
Please forgive me
