《The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong》A Poem of Farewell
Advertisement
There once was a whisper,
A voice within my head,
I ignored its plea and whimper,
And walked among the dead,
No light to be seen,
No hope was in being,
My purpose, there was none,
My goal, was far gone,
The things I strove after,
The man I wanted to be,
The soft lofty laughter,
The nice kind decree,
The ol' and strong herder,
The long welcoming glee,
All broken and torn,
Leaving nothing but me.
One night my world cracked,
An unopened unwelcome slap,
Enjoying life, then attacked,
Caught within a hidden trap.
All stolen away,
As like the night to the day.
No choice did I make,
No chance to escape,
Death in my wake,
No way I could shape,
All avenues I took,
Lead to him once again.
He stood there and looked,
While I knelt down and shook.
Around me,
Despair wrapped,
With its hard deadly grip,
What was important,
What I could salvage,
Were gone in that grasp,
Where I stood and I rasped.
I missed the one goal,
The last saving grace,
I fell to depression,
I fell to disgrace.
Then I met you,
And the world again shone,
Bright as the times,
Where I once had a home.
Thank you for what you have done,
And I bid you farewell,
This is my path,
And I walk it alone.
So you know,
I made the choice,
One of great suffering,
one with no place.
Where my decisions will lead,
I may never know,
But the future is quite certain,
If I do not go.
Though broken as I am,
And faulty are my plans,
This journey will continue,
Until the end of this man.
No end is in sight,
But I will brave,
For the future may yet be bright,
Just enough to shine on my grave.

Thoughts and comments appreciated. I'd really like to know what you guys thought. And yes, it's okay if you didn't understand it. You guys don't have quite enough information yet anyways, though there are hints. Like here's one, Everything in Chapter 66 happened. EVERYTHING!
Happy New Years or New Years Eve!
Sorry if this poem was no good XD. My first try.
