Eternal Nightmares- including my original poem/song in progress, Trend.

Beast Boy could run all he wanted, but a destination would never be reached. The world watched him with burning eyes that never slept. Every corner, every step, would lead to a crumbling end. He had to keep moving…

This week the trend, is to let go of the steering wheel and crash and burn,

stay caught in the wreckage waiting for my turn.

This week the trend, is to let the chips fall where they may,

cancel all my plans and tell you to just go away.

He was too afraid to look back; his past was back there. He would never go back, not now, after working so hard to leave all that behind. "But it was never truly gone," Beast Boy thought miserably. How could he have been so blind, so stupid? He had let his guard down, and now there was Hell to pay…

This week the trend, was to forget everything that I wanted to be,

Just to get away from this conformity.

This week the trend, was to wallow in my selfish heart,

Grabbing piece after piece and pulling it apart.

The midnight shadows crept in and out, forming a steady evilness about the alley. How long could he keep this charade up? "It'll end. Right here, right now," the changeling thought angrily. He was tired of playing the victim. He would take control of his own destiny…

This week the trend, was to make some changes that were way overdue,

reshaping my life into something anew.

This week the trend, I realize has repeated itself all over again,

remembering those demons that haunted me way back then.

Beast Boy knew he would probably die, but he wouldn't let his life pass him by. Too much was on the line now; it was all or nothing. He would go out fighting, like a real man would. Like his father…

He took a deep breath and looked into the eyes of his most feared enemy… himself.

This week the trend, was to rewind and start all over again.

This week the trend, was to refuse to let this be the end.

This week the trend, I'll start all over again.

I hope you guys liked this one-shot; I'm trying to prove to myself that I CAN do a good one-shot without romance (even though I love it!). Heh, anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing. -Jason
