Hi! Anyway, this poem is about (Come on brain, think of what to write!) it's about...trying to live life as a normal person. (Nice save!) Um, read on?

Disclaimer: I'm running from the city lights, I'm running from this empty life, I'm running from the copyright, of YuGiOh to end my strife! Help! Help! (I don't own any Evermore lyrics either!)


The day that I became the CEO of Kaiba corp. everything changed.

I couldn't even go around without having some form of guard arranged.

Walking around I needed men to protect me; as though I was weak.

And they follow me as though I need a bullet-proof vest when I speak.

I remember once I tried to go and have an average meal at a diner.

But the media showed up once more and privacy, I thought, was finer.

And recalling the time I actually secured a date with a girl I wanted

The cameras showed up and watched us both as my arrogance I flaunted.

And the lights flashed, and the film ran, with colored, panoramic views.

I and the girl I went out with were featured on the evening news.

Now one time I took Mokuba out for a walk back when I could show I cared

And the stupid cameramen appeared and they recorded, and they dared

To show footage of me holding Mokuba's hand and ruffling his raven hair.

So I followed them and blackmailed them for the film before it went to air.

Oh, the day Yugi beat me; it was all over the newspapers and magazines.

Only to be gossiped over by hormonal, angry and ignorant teens

Who if it weren't for TV and CD's and Movies wouldn't have a thing to do.

But I don't have time for those things so I am much more unfortunate than you.

Looking back at the time I had at the orphanage; it was better, it was fine.

But that life of chess and privacy, was coming to and end; the end of the line.

And even when I arrived at Gozaburou's mansion I felt so insecure.

Because his employees were everywhere. 'What were they staring at me for?"

Heart being broken so much I snuck out once to the cold, raging river

And sat for hours and hours; when the winds blew I wouldn't shiver.

But the press found me, and the media trucks came and my world was disturbed.

So until I get an average life, my indifference will remain unperturbed.


The ending wasn't all that flash, but who cares? Thanks to Mariku-san for letting me know that I was being repetitive, I tried to be a bit more original and using different words this time! Go Mariku! Thanks:

Samuraiduck27 –Thanks for the praise and I hope that you enjoyed this chapter just as much as every other! Thanks for reviewing!

ttSerenity –It really spoke to you? Wow, that was a very deep review… Thank you so much for that awesome praise and your kind comments, and for reviewing! Um, salt?

Black Dragon of the Bayou –Aw, you think so? Thanks! I really like Joey, but I cannot put him as the hero, for there are others who have gone through a lot more than him; the shows orphans and tortured souls. Seto, Mokuba, Noah and Marik have all gone through more than Joey. Picollo was rather stand-offish in most of the series. Thanks for reviewing!

Computerfreak101 –Of course I would understand about Japanese Idol! It is my fave karaoke fic and I don't care if I don't sing as long as it doesn't get deleted again! Thanks so much for reviewing, and for your praise!

Stormrose Dewleaf –Yeah, Kaiba has such a closed mind! Destiny is nothing; fate determines everything. No one has a destiny; you make your own. But everyone is fated to have something special about them. I can sing and write, you have dreams I am envious of, and who knows what else. Thanks for reviewing!

Mariku-san –YES! You reviewed at last! I was SO worried; I was wondering what had happened to you, whether you were still alive or something… But you are back! (Throws confetti!) Yeah, echoing is pretty cool, I remember back when I was four we went to this place that had a tunnel and I always shouted down it because it had the best echo! Freezing cold ice…I love ice, and the cold! I am immune to all cold weather! I will check out your bio when I can! Sorry for repeating some words, I know I am a bit repetitive when it comes to poems but I just like certain words, like emanation and resonation and arrogance and innocence and desolate. Things like that. Thanks for reviewing!

Yugi's Light Keeps Me Pure –You agree? Awesome; I love it when I'm right! Not that I'm stuck up or anything. Oh, who cares; I am arrogant; I get Seto on every "What YuGiOh character are you most like?" quiz I take! Kaiba once expressed belief in the Heart of the Cards, but afterwards mentioned nothing of it. I actually have great ideas? Aw, thanks! And thanks for reviewing!

Love Sami.
