**********

Put off all your troubles

And take away your fears

Peel off that ignorant mask

And put aside your tears.

I am here to serve you

As you shall soon serve me

Together we will rule

An entire new century.

Full of darkness and of dread

Where the sun can shine no more

Where the people hide in fright

And where our goals shall soon soar.

Take my hand and walk with me

Into the shadows of our past

Emerge again as a new individual

Your strength unsurpassed.

Taste this other life

That you soon will hold in your hands

Steal away Fate's strings

And tuck away those strands.

From here on out today

Only you and I will decide

Who will get to live

And who deserves to die.

Once again we plague the world

With our malevolent deeds of doom

Brushing away all the happiness

And filling lives with gloom.

Enjoy this newfound power

This path that you have selected

And don't forget to tell "them" to be careful

And expect the unexpected.

AN: Done with this one finally! ^^ This one's not so bad. It can describe either Edea with Seifer or Ultemecia with Seifer or Adel with Seifer. Either way, it all works out. ^^ I'll look forward to the next poem soon when my teachers stop pestering me with homework. Keep those reviews coming! ^_^ Oh yeah, when I said "them", I meant the SeeDs and all those people. It sounds kinda corny, but that's cuz I couldn't think of anything else to write. Ah well!

Also, I think there's something wrong with fanfiction.net, because when I posted the last poem on here (including this one), the stanzas weren't separated. But I think you guys know when a new stanza starts because I usually write in four-lined stanzas. I'm also gonna change the title of each poem to match a song in the FFVIII game series cuz I think that's cooler. Okey day. That's it.
