Hi! This poem isn't that good, but I've been really sick, and being sick makes me a bit lacking in the creativity department. Thanks for the reviews, guys! This poem is about Bakura and the darkness. I have no idea what that means, figure it out yourself! Read on!

It is emptiness to not eat, sleep or feel.

Not to taste, not to love, is this all real?

I cannot believe my life was that long ago now.

To live again I'd have to capture a mortal body somehow.

I begin to shout, endless, screaming, I yell.

But nobody hears, no one's listening, this world I live in is hell.

Can you breathe in my world? I can't breathe in yours.

I can't see the beauty in it that everyone adores.

But that's the thing, if I am dead, I do not need to breathe.

And still I choke, and so I do not know what to believe.

Can you live this life for me? I'll live your life instead.

Please cast from me immortality, I'd rather just be dead.

Boasting of my talents won't keep me on top for long.

I don't know how you mortals can begin to be so strong.

And though I've called them pitiful, pathetic, foolish, weak.

For all these accusations, I'm ashamed of what I speak.

And do not cry for me, my tale is much too cruel for tears.

Don't say I'm merely mad from all my lonely, tortured years,

Inside the Ring, of gold and lies, illusions in the mist.

Were it to fade away it wouldn't be that highly missed.

I see these people laughing, and I wonder what it's like.

The only laughter I've had is maniacal, after my terror does strike.

Caress me with your happiness, breathe into me the light.

For you emanate so much of it, to save me from my plight.

I fade away to darkness, I cannot bear the black.

And as I pass from world to world there is no turning back.

They expect me to be strong; they expect me to be kind.

But though I'm still aware of truth, my sanity is left behind.

…To wallow in the darkness…

…I swallow up the darkness…

…I can't escape the darkness…

…And it can't escape me…

Done. Was it alright? I hope so. Anyway, review, and I will respond in the next chapter! And any people that haven't reviewed this yet, go right ahead, I know some of you might be shy about reviewing, like I was when I was first on this site, but I'd really love to hear your thoughts! Flamers will be my bait for catching shadow monsters. No flamers yet though. Hmm, Bakura's getting hungry…

Thanks:

Stormrose Dewleaf –That was really your fave poem? Cool! Yes, psychos must stick together! I don't do well with reality either. They tell me Bakura isn't real…and I send them to the Shadow Realm. Foolish mortals. Yeah, I got a couple of monsters in my life too! I would kill for a vacation to the Shadow Realm. I hope whatever poem you decided to write turned out okay! Thanks!

Rin-almighty-yaoi-lover –It's okay to promote your stories in your reviews, I've done that! Thanks for the review! Yeah, it's not as easy for you, because you're the better writer, with the capability to write longer stories. Oh, about the Yami and Yugi one-shot, I started on the rough copy today; it should be posted in two days or so! It's a bit Valentine Day-ish though. Thanks for the review!

ttSerenity –Yes…the Pharaoh must die. Either that or be mortified. I reckon I'll go up to him, take his Dark Magician card, cut it up, and go "I don't see any heart in this card, do you?" I would love to see the look on his face! HA! Great review! Thanks!

Okay people, thanks for reviewing!

Love Sami, Ryou's Hikari.
