Lightning-Dono: Time for the next poem! I know, my poetry is growing a little rusty, but I'll kick myself back into shape because summer isn't the time to slack! xD This poem is on Yggdrasill. Yes, Mithos and he are one and the same, but I thought it would be fun to write from a more...matured point of view. It's a little odd, but I tried rhyming. I really did. I don't think I'll ever try it again, though...it didn't work out very well.

Answers to the Reviews

Krannaple – Thank you very much!

Sylvia Viridian – I understand how you feel! I was sitting there one day on my 3rd play through of the game, wondering what the Kratos ending was like. I was horrified that I had to kill Zelos, and even more so at what he said about his life. ;o; I've never been very fond of Kratos and Zelos has always been, personally, my favorite character in the game. He never gave a true reason for his faked happiness, which everyone thought was genuine, until they discovered that it wasn't at all real. It was also saddening that they hardly gave any mention to their lost companion...Thank you for the compliment!

Katandshadow – Don't flatter me. xD They're not good...well, not all of them, at the very least. But thank you!

Desperation

A purple world
Shrouded in mist
No hint of spirit
As I clench my fist
Those below me deserved what they got

What I've done can not be taken back
The hints of sorrow
Are laid down in fact
I trembled as I felt my power grow
And for once I didn't know what to do

But I don't regret it all
The tragedy I've created
Those people I have manipulated
Were destined to take a fall

Those abstract words
The people kept repeating
"The world shall be regenerated"
Simple measures to make sure they kept thriving

Desperate actions and turmoil
Could make even the strongest recoil
Love that could not be returned
In time, they will understand

What I did had a purpose
Even if I truly had ran
From a world tainted with discrimination
For those who are stuck...yet alive

A world like that doesn't deserve remorse
I'm returning that pain
In the form of force
They who took our lives away
Those cretins who continued to slay
Just because some are different
Doesn't mean they don't deserve to live

Perhaps what I seek is a mere illusion
Maybe I have fallen prey to endless delusion
But atleast I may achieve my goal
For an age of those with no soul

Fear has immobilized the weak
Upon this world
Discord I have managed to wreak
But their wills never broke
Until my inner power awoke

Lies veil true evil
Love reveals the true meaning of life
When faced with such choices
What can one do but lie?
Only the strong can face up to that fear
And in the end
I suppose it wasn't me
