AN - This poem is from Raven's POV.
I apologise in advance if Raven is slightly OOC.
Raven really does careā¦even if she hides it.
On The Other Side
I'm on the wrong side of the window,
On the outside looking in.
The pane has frosted over,
And I know I cannot win.
The laughter still drifts through it,
And the joy is oh so clear,
I only wish that I were inside
And not alone out here.
I fear it's always been this way,
I tried to be like them,
But all attempts were doomed to fail
All of them but one.
It's just the little things he does
Those show me that he cares,
The way he might just say hello
Or whisper in my ear.
He hasn't given up on me
And I won't fail him yet,
I promise that I'll keep on trying,
'Til my goal is met.
I want to laugh and cry and feel,
To show that I'm all there,
I want for them to know I'm real
And that I truly care.
I once said that it all was pointless,
That to feel was to be weak,
I know that I was wrong,
And it's that strength that I now seek.
I want to laugh at BeastBoy's jokes,
Although they're far from funny,
And I want to know the glasses are safe,
Without that endless worry.
My emotions are my burden,
But one I will not trade,
My powers are my poison,
And I'm consumed by it by day.
I'm on the wrong side of the window,
On the outside looking in,
The frame is made of sadness
And the glass is far from thin.
