Well... this poem sucks... I wrote it a while ago... But here we are.
SNOWFUR AND THISTLECLAW
I started off
Just a tiny kit
Waiting for my sister
To open her small eyes
I was so excited just to
Go outside. Just to play in the camp
Bounce in the air and
Spear a fallen leaf
I waited - impatient for my training
to begin. When the moment had come
My legs shook - I was frightened that
I wasn't good enough for
My Clan of brave thunder
My sister tried to
tell me I was
good enough
But she
couldn't make
me see that I
was good enough for
My Clan. The only cat, the only one
That could make me see was 'wrong'
for me, my sister said that I
deserved so much better, but I did
Not see that she spoke the truth, that she saw
The worm at the core of the apple
The violent nature hidden
She could see mine,
My wrong, but she couldn't see
the ruin hers would
Cause our brave Clan
I didn't listen, no
Not to her pleas or warnings
I was in love and blind
So I ignored my brave sister
Left her all alone for a tom that
Wanted nothing but power for himself
Sometimes I think that if I hadn't
Betrayed her and left her alone
She wouldn't have loved someone
Outside of her true Clan
I blame myself for
Poor Thrushpelt, who
Never had a chance
At love, at my sister
I blame myself for her woe
She would have been happy if I
Had just been there for her when she
Needed me. I can't help feeling her pain
When I couldn't understand her love
When I ran away that fated day
Love went spinning through the tunnels
Of my mind - I tried to grab
Onto the only thing
That I could understand
You know the code
Defend your territory
I raced after those ones
After the trespassers
I didn't even say goodbye
My paws skidded across the fatal
Line - the line I had forgotten about
I tried to hold on...
But fell away into the abyss
Of loneliness and despair.
But then you came back
And we're together again.
THISTLECLAW
I hungered
For the white one
For her kindness, for
Her love. No one else would
Ever love me. They would shun
Me from the patrols - they didn't
Want me there - even though I was brave.
I couldn't do enough for them - after
Everything, it wasn't enough for
Them. I never got a chance to
Listen to stories, catch leaves
Until my mentor taught
Me that they were cruel
Jealous and wrong
I was right
And they were wrong
He said that was why
They wanted more - it is
Not me, it's them, they're not strong
Enough, or brave enough, but her.
She was strong and never would
Mock me. Unlike her sister Bluepaw, she
Was gentle, she was kind. "I love you."
The words echo through my spirit.
Through my mind. Out hunting, out
Patrolling, everywhere
Her blue eyes say it
Again and again
Her jealous sister
Can't find a love of her own
So she tries to destroy our pure love
Yet slowly, I begin to wonder
Is she right?
Am I wrong?
Am I evil?
In the end
There's only
One answer
To my doubt
My mentor's
Words echo
Through my head
Do anything
To survive
A voice speaks
In my mind
Telling me
Seek
Power
Do
Anything
Forget
Love
Seek
Power
