My first fic, Yay, GO ME! This is a poem from Zeke's point of view, after he looses to Yoh in the tournament. Please please PLEASE review, because this will tell me if I should do any more shaman king fics, or try something else, so the more reviews, the better. Enjoy! -

Looking into self

My life,

My legacy,

My failure,

All twist into one downward spiral of despair

Choking me;

Smothering me;

Murdering me.

My blood runs crimson once again

But I am anything but human

A foreigner by all definition

No reason to speak

Just wait for the pain to end

For my disasters to disappear

To be banished from my mind

But they never will

I am forever hunted

Forever a joke

Forever alone.

They did this to me:

Those who were meant to join me,

Meant to be by my side,

Those who should of knelt at my feet,

Privileged to be in my presence

My glory which knew no limits

Power not even matched my the unknown

A God

In my own rite.

So how is it I was defeated?

How is it

That the great fall before the week;

The insignificant;

The unworthy?

My pride is smashed by those I loathe

So sharp;

So deadly;

Ripping my flesh,

Causing more of my blood to spill

Until my existence;

My mortality;

My sprit;

Is nothing more than a memory.
