~POV: Soujiro~

If I Just Smiled:

My heart hurts painfully
As I stand here in the rain
The soft pattering
Echoes gently in my ears

I've killed people
Upon my blade have they died
But killing people wasn't
It wasn't what I wanted

All I wanted was to be happy
All I wanted was to be loved
But instead of being loved
I was hated

As the pain coursed through my body
As they rained their fists upon me
I simply smiled

Even as the tears fell
I simply smiled
As though it would all go away
If I just smiled

But on that stormy night
When I picked up that single wakizashi
When I smiled as always
It did not go away

I've killed people
Upon my very blade
And on my face was a smile
As the rain poured down on me

I've killed people
But killing people really wasn't
Killing people really wasn't..

Only the fittest survive in this world..........
..........

The strong live and the weak die.............
.........

I've killed people
But killing people really wasn't.
Killing people really wasn't..
What I wanted at all
