Please Don't Look At Me

Please don't look at me…

I failed; I failed Hyrule and its souls,

The once bright blue sky, now as black as coal.

Darkness has eaten the land,

The bright green grass now pale brown sand.

Coldness, lingers in the air,

Hyrule has fallen into despair.

I'm sorry father, I couldn't stop it,

The key to saving us, I just couldn't get.

I'm sorry Impa; you tried to save me,

But I'm sorry I didn't succeed.

Please don't look at me…

I'm sorry Link; I dragged you into this mess,

Your feelings towards me may be detest.

I'm sorry Hyrule; but you're gone,

For you now, there shall never be a dawn.

But most of all, I'm sorry mom; I did not conquer,

For into sadness I fell deeper.

You're gone, Dad and Link vanished,

The people are hungry for light, they're famished.

Zoras, are incased in ice,

The Kokiri Forest's beauty now sliced.

Gerudo Valley, they have no king,

The Goron inhabitants are missing.

Kakariko Village has also been taken,

Hyrule Castle is now forsaken.

Please don't look at me…

I can't take it all in,

This despair is my sin.

Cut me, kill me, do anything,

Just please let peace be bring.

Curse me, rape me, just make it all end,

Allow Hyrule's harmony to mend.

With my wrists, I cut it,

Then, I wrap around a tourniquet.

I cut my hands,

Cover them with bands.

Cut my face,

And shield it in disgrace.

Cut my shins,

Take away my sins.

Cover up my chest,

So that no one will guess…

That it is I,

Princess Zelda, the lie.

No one shall know, no one shall hear,

Of our grand princess' fear.

I'm a lie, that's all that I am,

I deserve out of all, to be killed where I stand.

I shall disguise myself to someone no one will think,

I give me the name Sheik.

Hyrule, family, I shall fulfill your needs,

But please…

Don't look at me…
