I dedicate this poem to Nobu:

Although the war has scarred my face

It has also barred my heart

What hope is there for me

In a world where looks are the only dimension

I cannot help but let human nature take over me

For that's what I am-

A mere mortal

May the gods see me as someone

Someone noble- who has given up love,

For that of friendship

My heart and mind dare to dream

That I might find love someday

Sometimes I wish-

Wish that I had chosen looks over friendship

But…through it all friendship is what matters

As I see the blossoming flowers and couples

My heart slowly builds a stone wall

This emptiness

What is it?

No matter what I do

It comes to torture my demented soul

If people would see for once

That behind the mask

There is a great person

I would be forever thankful

As my being travels on

So do I

I shall stay on this Earth unwanted

until I rot away
