Nico-

He lives in-between worlds

Both the living and dead

And the Romans and Greeks

Doesn't listen to the rumours they've said

Who cares about what they think?

Words pound against metal ears

He knows that it is his purpose

To be their personified fear

His light shines bright in the dark

A wonderful ray of sun

Quenching out the evil

Before the darkness has even begun

His screams pound and echo

Reaching across the night

Drowning in all these memories

Not a savior in sight

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

And all who watch him can see

That he's confined by his stereotypes

But still oddly free

All who listen can hear

His whispers, screams and cries

But be careful what you tell him

At the end he's your demise.

I'm going to finish this horrible poetry series (I published these when I was eleven, but wrote them when I was ten-ish . . . my poetry has improved. Greatly. This is a load of trash) and then forget it ever existed.
