Poems For Anime Characters

An Orphan's Song (Ray)

The burdens I've been carrying this whole time,
Have finally begain to crush me,

I wonder where I've come walking,
I wonder what's my destiny,

This place, where everyone's smiling,
I pretend to smile as well,

But I know I'm lying to myself,
I just can't break this spell,

As each night passes, anxiousness,
Just increases as I go to bed,

As number of children here lessens,
Their memories fill my head,

I wish I could scream, I wish I could cry,
But my face is emotion-less,

I want to express my feelings for them,
Before they become a part of this mess,

I want them to smile, I want them to laugh,
I want them to be free,

But it doesn't matter, how much I wish or try,
This dream can't become a reality
