You turn to me, I'll be there
You call for me, I'll come running.
You need a leader, and you look at me.
Isn't this what I wanted?
To be known, to be admired?
To be the one everyone looked up to?
You see I know the truth.
I'm anything but a hero.
I'm nothing but a failure,
I'm nothing.
Playing pretend with someone else's life
He was the true hero not I.
Giving his life for mine.
Like a shooting star blazing briefly.
I'm nothing but a coward, a liar,
Hiding behind my hero's mask
And his truth with my secret shame.
But you need me.
You've put your trust in me.
So I have to gather my strength
To face the truth in my heart
To finally realize who I am
What I am.
More than a number.
More than a puppet.
More than what I thought of myself.
I'll break free and cut the strings.
I'll break free and face the truth.
I'll face the lies and shatter my illusion.
I'll be your hero.
But I won't forget.
More than a number, a puppet.
More than a hero too.
I am.
Cloud.

Author's Note:
*sweatdrops* this two part poem was supposed to be only made of one
the first one posted. This'll be part of the FFVII fic I'm plotting
but it can also stand alone. Ne, Cloud is my favorite FFVII character,
he's so messed up! Right up there with Shinji-kun as freak-out king
^__^; I felt so bad for him when the truth finally came out, and
cheered when he found himself again. Hehe, you COULD argue that Hojo
never gave Cloud a number, it just about made me want to strangle
the scientist and the people around him, when Cloud begged Hojo for
a number. Just to prove he wasn't a failure. *sighs* That "More than
a number" part just means that Cloud finally realizes that the dang
number isn't important, he's just subjugating himself by limiting
the worth of his existence, and his life itself to be a mere number.
Go ahead, review, flame, whatever. This is the first time I ever
posted up my work here.
