Cat: I DON'T OWN THEM!! This poem is about Yuki!
Chapter 17: Prince Mask

Nobody understands
I can't talk to anybody about it!
I didn't ask to look this way!
I just want to be normal,
I just want to fit in.

All of the girls at school think I'm the best thing in the world
They even formed a stupid fan club for me
They think I'm this perfect person
They think I'm a prince.

But how would they act it they knew what I really am
How would they act if they knew I couldn't cook
Because to them I can do anything.

I'm not perfect
I'm not very nice
I'm cynical
But I want to fit in
I want to have friends
I just didn't realize how hard it is to fit in.

I lost myself
I truly don't remember who I am
I've hid behind this perfect school boy mask for so long
And as a cursed rat I am the prince of the family
And the prince of the school

I don't want to hid behind my prince mask anymore
I want to be able to be myself like the outcast
It's just that I forgot how.
