Serenity
By: Sohma Yuki
It is frightening,
When I am left to my thoughts.
Perhaps that is why I give myself so much to do,
And avoid moments that haven't been planned,
Maybe that's why meeting her surprised me so much.
Everything has been different since then.
Things have been different,
But I'm still busy.
That, I am grateful for.
I cannot be left to these thoughts.
Hatred, this hatred, that possesses me,
Is what is within, from which I hide.
Guilt overcomes me.
I cannot stand these emotions.
That's why I remain so indifferent always.
Stop it! Stop it now!
Breathing, shallow breaths coming in.
My chest goes steadily up and down.
I must keep this in check.
Calm yourself Yuki, calm.
Yes, you're fine.
You must stop thinking.
Go back to serenity, sweet calm.
No problems, you're fine.
I need to keep myself busy.
I need serenity.

A/N:
I just recently came to the realization that these poems are rather confusing about their messages, so I'd like to note that they're just sort of made to start you thinking beyond what we've read, seen, or heard about Fruits Basket. Truthfully, I have no particular plot or motive to what they're thinking; it's just something to make you think. I was starting this one to aim towards the idea of how Akito bothered Yuki-san so much, but it twisted and now I'm not sure of the thoughts involved at all, just that it's there and it's making me think beyond my own motives. Strange, no? But yeah, bye-bye.
