Author's Notes:

Hello, welcome to the second chapter of "Through Their Eyes" and to the, of course, next poem. For those of you who don't like poetry, don't read this. Those who don't like me don't read this. Those of you who don't like reading, you shouldn't even be on this site. But on with the poem. Today you get to enjoy the ranting of Sir Ritsu Sohma.

Disclaimer: Do you really think I own Fruits Basket? If so, you need a mental health doctor. There's no way in the world I could possibly own it. I just write the stories about it.

All I Can Do

By: Ritsu Sohma

Every time I try,

I fall.

And all I can do is watch,

As others make up for my mistakes.

This feeling,

It hurts.

It's painful,

To know I can't help.

I try,

But I can't do much.

Whenever I try to spread my wings,

I fall.

All I can do is watch,

And hope I can repent...

Hope I can fix it...

Hope I can change...

Only my dreams

Turn out right.

But my dreams

Can do nothing.

I hold out my hand,

Wishing I could pull you up and help.

But what can I do,

Besides make it worse?

That small dream,

That told me I could help,

Was it a lie?

Is it all fake?

I begin to run,

But fall again.

No one can help me,

And I can help no one.

The light glows faint.

There's not much left.

Three...

Two...

One...

There's nothing.

Like what I can do:

Nothing.

Holding out my hands,

I reach,

But fall again,

Into the darkness.

After Word:

Okay, so how did you enjoy it? Depressing, wasn't it? Yeah, I make depressing poems... Not very good at happy ones, but I'll try later on. I'm not sure who I should make a poem for next. Review and tell me who you'd like to have a poem for next. If there are enough people agreeing on one person, then that'll be my next subject of the poem. Hope you enjoyed the poem, even if it was sad. Hey, it makes a good subject, besides, it was Ritsu Sohma. Do you really expect him to have a happy poem? Like I said before, review please. Give me some comments, and maybe who you'd like me to write a poem about later on. Later in this fiction, I think I may base a song after someone. I wrote a song a while ago and realized it'd probably fit with a character in the Furuba cast, I still he revising to do though. Thanks for reading, hope you review! PEACE

(P.S. If you don't mind, could you read and review my other story? Please? I'm in need of reviews and in need of some support on that story. 3 of the reviews aren't exactly, well, reviews. Also, I have another story coming soon. If you like Shaman King, and Ren, oh, not to mention depression, then this is the story for you. I'm going to say ahead of time, this story starts off pretty sad, but will end up okay in the end. Note: My character will not "own" Ren, in fact in the end, she'll no longer have anything to do with him. If you like my writing, watch for that story, it'll be titled: In the Midst of the Sakuras, coming soon.)
