This poem is from Shuuichi's point of view.
This New Self
My hair as red as roses,
My eyes as green as emeralds,
This form is new to me.
I used to be a cold-hearted thief,
Until reborn as a human.
Underneath, I am still the fox,
But cold-hearted? I think not.
I have changed,
I am reformed,
I have attained human feelings.
These feelings I have never felt before,
Love, kindness, compassion,
They are new to me, yet, I like them?
Do I really wish to stay this way?
That, I am not sure of.
Do I still want to be a cold killer?
I now think otherwise.
Perhaps I want
A life more peaceful,
With friends and family.
I have not yet decided
What I shall do,
But for now,
I will protect my human mother.
She cared for me,
She accepted me,
She loved me,
Yet I did not deserve it.
I may not know,
What I will decide,
This battle inside me
Must end sometime.
But right now,
I will continue to live
In this human form,
I go by the name,
Shuuichi Minamino.
