Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
8. Yagami Hikari
She was both kind
and cruel:
A brush with soft bristles
soothing out knots
snaps and quickly becomes
sharp needles in another's hair.
It seemed almost hypocritical
but the difference between love, pity and hate
were all too distinct.
They thought her all-forgiving
til they saw there were things
she couldn't forgive
Because light was bright, enticing…
but not perfection.
