			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">Crying tears of blood sadness fills my soul,<br />
Happiness cannot penetrate what has long ago gone cold.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">For the life of my friends,<br />
my soul is what I sold.<br />
Sold to a demon, my sprit was allowed to run wild,<br />
killing as it pleased.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">The demon was tired of sitting around so he took the life so precious to me,<br />
He took the lives of my friends and then took the life belonging to me,</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">Now I cry tears of blood caused by eternal pain,<br />
eternal pain from the many hearts of those that i had slain.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">When all the tears of blood and pain have finnally been cryed out,<br />
My soul can rest at ease.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">However that day will never come because of the inumerable amount of those that I had slain.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">The blood goes on and on,<br />
it seams to be endless,</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">But this is my punishment for those I did.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">The never ending flow of blood prevents me from leaveing,<br />
leaving this world of suffering and pain, to be with my fallen friends and those that I had slain.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">I keep saying, &#8220;Someday, someday these tears will come to an end and my soul shall rest at ease.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">But before that day came an arrow struck my heart and released my soul I turned and thanked the one who released me and departed from this world.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">I entered the next world and there I saw the face of the one who took my life so long ago.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">Anger filled my soul no longer cold, but burning ablaze with hatred.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">Then I struck swift and quick<br />
spilling his blood across my body and face and across the earth.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">There he lay until this day<br />
still covered in his own tears of blood.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">~*~</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">This was my first actual poem that I rememeber writing. I had gone way overboard on the Inuyasha Anime. ^^; Long story.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">This unearthly world<br />

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">The tension is built<br />
the blood run cold<br />
the heart has stopped<br />
and the soul grown old</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">In this unearthly world<br />
where blood pours from the skies<br />
where even imortals shall meet their demise<br />
the fountains of blood shall cease to run<br />
as a raven cries<br />
the darkness falls<br />
in this unearthly place I call my home&#8230;</span></em></p>

&#8216;An Untitled Blade&#8217; was her choice of verse.</em></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><em>In a shadow lay her life,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><em></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">I spotted a child,<br />
Mixed in with the crowd,<br />
Her confused eyes,<br />
Settled just below the brow.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">I pushed through the crowd,<br />
And knelled down by the child.<br />
I then asked in a kind voice,<br />
&#8220;Are you lost dear child?&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8220;No ma&#8217;am. I am with the crowd,<br />
So I am right where I need to be.&#8221;<br />
She had replied quickly,<br />
And I was shamed to hear such words.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8220;Have you forgotten your name?<br />
Are you sure of who you are?&#8221;<br />
My question puzzled her,<br />
And she furrowed her brow.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8220;I was blind to reality,<br />
But now I see,<br />
Just how distorted,<br />
This world has come to be.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">No one knows who they are.<br />
Everyone is just like everyone else,<br />
They are scared to be different,<br />
They are scared to be unique.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">The girl looked confused,<br />
And at a loss of words.<br />
&#8220;What do you mean?<br />
Have I forgotten my name?&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8220;You are just like the rest.<br />
You are lost in the crowd.<br />
Now answer one question.<br />
Who are you inside?&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">A moment of silence,<br />
And a thousand puzzled thoughts,<br />
Then she looked up at me,<br />
And she told me the truth.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8220;I am me.<br />
You were right.<br />
I was lost in the crowd.<br />
But Why?&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">I smiled at her answer.<br />
Then I stood up in the crowd.<br />
I cleared my voice and spoke;<br />
Clear an Loud.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8220;Society has bred us.<br />
To be as Machines.<br />
To all be the same.<br />
For their own little game.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Is no one wise enough to see it?<br />
To see through their lies.<br />
Are you all too blind to see<br />
What is right in front of your eyes?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Are you who you are,<br />
Or are you one of the crowd?<br />
It&#8217;s a demented reality.<br />
Why be scared to stand out?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">You have nothing to lose.<br />
Just open your eyes.<br />
The being inside;<br />
That is your prize.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Break the binds<br />
And shatter the chains!<br />
This is Our World,<br />
Lets us not be restrained!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Have you all lost your senses!<br />
Have you all become blind!<br />
Have you all lost who you are?<br />
Have you all forgotten your names?&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">I wrote this a while back, the morning I wrote &#8216;Rebel&#8217; as a matter of fact.<br />
I hope this open the eyes of a few people.<br />
Because sadly;<br />
This is true.</span></p>
