STORM

I sit here and wait

Like the calm before the storm

I look stripped from my power

And of my sight

But deep inside

I still have the power to fight

So I sit here quietly

And wait for the rain

To cause the pain

That was put on me

My voice is silent

But my time will come

Where your life will depend on

How fast you would run

A sinister smile

Runs across my face

Cause I feel your fear

Of me

But then my face is covered with a frown

Cause you pity me

I'm like the clam before the storm

So I sit

And wait...

Dear Diary,

I've always seem to find my self-writing when I'm by myself and that seems to be all the time lately.

I've felt so empty since I left Inuyasha and the others. I can still feel the jewel even though I left it on the other side of the well, with Inuyasha and Kikiyou.

I've always thought I could tell you everything. But I can't lie to you; I could say that I'm still the innocent little girl that stumbled into that well ten years ago, I could say that I haven't change over the years, and that I'm still the kagome you believe I am.

The kagome I was is not the kagome I am now. I hate life, and I despise "humans". They walk these streets and live their lives so blind and native. They can't see all the dangers of demons that walk, work, and eat by them and with them.

I gave and gave and never got any in return. AND now I am left with the burden of containing darkness in its seal.

Sincerely,

Kagome H.
