Here is yet another poem for you all to feast on. It is from Legolas' point of view but isn't about anything in particular. It is just a general Elven poem that could have come from Legolas. I hope you all like it and take the time to review.
Why?
Elves, immortal beings
Graceful and wise
All knowing
All powerful
All good
Elves, elegant and beautiful
Agile and valiant
Dependable
Reliable
Dignified
Why?
Why is it us that live forever?
Why are we the perfect creatures?
Why do we have to be strong?
What I wouldn't give to be free
Not be dependable
Or reliable
Or dignified
Not knowing everything
Have people come to you for everything
And for once I want good to win
For years I have been perfect
The best at archery
The most noble
Brave
Strong
And for once I want some competition
But that isn't what others expect
All elves must be the best
Do their best
Achieve the best
For once I wish for it to be someone else
To go to someone else with my troubles
And not for people to come to me
To learn form others, things that I do not know
And not for others to learn from me
What would it be like to be mortal?
Knowing that one day you would die
Leave this world
Leave its people
Be set free
Knowing that you had to do everything
Everything you wanted to do
Before your time came
Elves have forever
Will live forever
Forever- until eternity
For once I long to be scared
Scared of life
Scared of death
Not knowing what's going to happen
I want to be mortal
Live a mortal life
Have to work for things
Earn things
Appreciate what I have
A normal life
Perfection?
It isn't everything
I know that one day I'll disappoint
Someone will depend on me and I will fail
Someone's life will be in my hands and I will fall
I don't want to be that person
I long to cry
Inside
Outside
I long to tell someone how I feel
Cry in someone's arms
Not have others cry in mine
I am afraid now
But I do not show it
I cannot show it
Elves cannot show their feelings
Their emotions
Their thoughts
They must keep them locked up
Out of sight
Out of touch
They must do their best for others
Elves, immortal beings
Graceful and wise.
