This is a poem written from Vegeta's pov from when he self-destructed
to save his son and wife's lives.
My Judge, Jury, and Executioner
By An Author's Heart
I stand upon the world alone
Standing before my fate
He is the judge
The jury
The executioner
Come for me
To announce the end of my destiny
I have a few regrets
But none as severe as this
I'm going to die
Without a single tear
Shed over the silent lying
Little boy
Of whom I have struck
Ignored
Hidden myself from
I was always afraid of commitment
Afraid to show my emotions
I never had true parents
I never had a family
Until eight years ago
When I gave my heart to her
But it's all gone
I've murdered too many
With my blood stained hands
The life itself
Can no longer continue
Death knocks upon the door
Of my awaiting body
But at least I shall know
I'm dying for you
It is said that once a warrior
Forever a warrior
I don't know if it's true
Because I'm taking the easy way out
Was this my destiny
To die without becoming what I was meant to be?
What I hoped to be?
A warrior?
Today is the last of my life
And I have but now one regret
That I couldn't make up for the time I've lost
And the souls that I destroyed
So to you my son I leave
A warrior's legacy
To wield above the world
Hold it high
And far along
Your strength shall surpass even mine
So goodbye my son
Wish your mother love
For the jury has reached its verdict
And I must die today
Giving my life for yours
Self destruction is not the way I planned
To die my solemn death
But do not cry my son
For it has been worth it
To hug you just this once
Before our solemn separation
Goodbye world
For the judge has released the sentence
And I am about to die
My fears have long since fled
My mind has cleared
And all my thoughts quickly come and go
"Trunks…Bulma…"
And my final thought before I die is
"I didn't even get that last battle against Kakorotto."
The End
