A Lion's Heart by Melinda Cadarette

I must have been trapped for days

I only thought of death and loss

First my mother then Leomon

I could not see the light at all

Then Calumon came to me

He tried to give me some hope

Beelzemon and Takato were out

They tried to rescue me from our foe

But all I saw was Leomon

And Takato could not reach me

Deeper and deeper I went down

I could not see the light at all

My mother, Leomon, the memories-

I love them with all my heart I really do

How could I ever let them down like this?

I just hated myself for being like this

I wanted to die in my sad state

But Calumon would not allow it

He said I should not lose hope

I wish I could think like that

But the D-Reaper was using me

It stole my voice and copied my form

It even messed with my memories

And caused all my dark thoughts to get to me

I was wrong to think

I could do nothing

Thank you Leomon

For you cleared my mind

We all have to find our own path

And not let anyone stop us

I did not want the D-Reaper

To wipe all of us and the world

It's time I did more than cry

I finally understand

The power to change our lives for the good

Must lie in the hearts of everyone

Takato did come and save us

And I felt so happy inside

It is so nice to have a friend

That would never abandon you

Now that is all over

I can reflect back now

I faced my own fears in the end

Just like Leomon knew I would

Thank you Leomon and Takato

For helping me find myself again

The past I can now be at peace-

Since I do possess a lion's heart.

Thank you for reading this poem. "A Lion's Heart- Part Two" is the companion poem to "A Lion's Heart". I hope you find this more lightening than my first poem. I am not a fan of depressing poetry myself. This is going to be the last of my Digimon poetry for some time, unless you want me to do a request poem. Check my profile page for more information.
