A/N: First Danny Phantom fan work (other than my drawings on dA). Written Saturday for today's poetry slam, while listening to Linkin Park's CD: Hybrid Theory. My classmates thought it was dark but good, my English teacher loved it, and my stepdad was astounded. Still, the Judges weren't that impressed, I was given about an 8.9/ 10 (that was probably in the top 5), but I think my real problem was it was also on preformance, and I was shaking like a leaf. It's about Danny's feeling's about his powers, though this is pretty early on, before he gets his cockiness we've all come to easily recognise (yet, we love him anyway :-D). Read and review for an E-cookie and vast apriciation!
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, so no sending lawyer hordes after me! Butch Hartman (whom we all love) owns him!
Ghost of a Chance
I have this power deep inside
And I know that it can cause tears
It can be a bright glow of hope
Or a raging torrent of fears
A weapon I hold, only mine
My burden to wield, I must fight
Everything I thought that I knew
I believe that I lost my light
The demons that I slay within
All that was white has become black
The shadows now have grown darker
And I know there's no turning back
My demons could hurt those I love
And so now these beasts I must smite
The darkness has enveloped me
And I can't find the shining light
Being a shadow of myself
You see me as a nobody
But I still stand for all that's good
Yet I do it all secretly
I know not if I can control
The great power I hold inside
Walking upon the line of death
Caught between two opposing sides
Looking upon my reflection
I can't quite seem to recognize
It's scary this power within
I face this foe, forgetting size
I must push all of them away
Going along my lonely dance
I can't risk my loved ones' safety
Not for just a ghost of a chance
