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
