POV: Yahiko

One Day I'll Be Strong Enough:

What haunts me most in the night?
Is it so hard to guess?
The loneliness, the aching hurt?
Or is it the awful past?

To me it's not hard to guess
What hurts me deep inside
Others would soon forget
The horrors I have been through

My father died so long ago
That's what is seems to me
My mother worked so hard for me
In the end she left me too

It wasn't her choice to get so sick
Or leave me behind alone
I know the truth of her love,
And her sacrifices too.

That's what haunts me late at night
When everyone else sleeps away
That's what haunts me deep inside
When everyone else has forgotten

So easily are my problems dismissed
So easily is it for them to forget they exist
I have to bear the burden on my own
And become so much stronger

One day I'll conquer it all
One day I'll be strong enough
So that I will no longer have to sit and watch
As my loved ones fall

One day soon the day will come
When I'll no longer be such a child
When I can look proudly upon myself
Knowing my strength will not fail

For that day will come for me
Knowing I'll have that strength
To protect them all
And never fear again
