A.N. I'm dedicating this poem (and I'm doing the dedication rounds right now) to Zanisha. She writes aboslutely fantastic pieces and if noone has dedicated to her before, I don't know why, because she definately deserves a standing ovation and royal thank you :) Again, I'm not even sure if she reads Inuyasha, but i don't care. I like this poem of mine, and I love her work so I thought that dedicating a poem of mine that I was proud of was a good way to show her how much of an inspiration she has been. Enough raving and rambling, enjoy my dediaction to Zanisha.


Who am I?
That dares cry
Ancient tears
Of hidden sorrow.
The night hides my shame
But we all know
That the emotions I have
Are not the same.

Who am I?
That dares to ask
For understanding
Of my past.
The hates and crimes
That mar my soul
The lives I stole,
Redemption now
Is an impossible task.

Who are you
To judge the damned?
We, the hated angels,
Live too.
My broken wings
And golden eyes
Are not my core.
But beyond this
Flawed angel form
My perfect spirit flies,
Much like yours.

Who are you
To say who I am.
I may be damned
An angel cursed,
But who are you?
I may be but half of two
But my halves are whole,
The angel and the devil
Balanced in my soul.

Do not judge the devil
For the angel also sees
Your condemning heart.
The spirit sees
Who is the angel
And who has been the demon
Right from the start.
