My friends think that I have fallen
becoming a shadow of my former self 
unable to see the truth for what it is.

They run from the impending gloom,
not wanting to embrace the unknown.
Thinking that holding the title
of key blade masters
makes them
guardians of light.


I admit, my first attempts at playing hero was a mistake.
Making decisions based on anger and jealousy
but I have come a long way since my teenage years.

It’s amazing what you can learn
when you’re no longer a child.
Lessons taught to you
by the passing of time.

I have always been a protector.
sacrificing my own happiness.
to prevent a foolish younger sibling
from hurting themselves.

Despite Sora saving the world,
I will always see him as my little brother.
Leading me to take actions
against his allies and nobody
if it will keep him safe from harm.

Being the voice of reason
when others step away from the light.
When the whispering shadows
corrupting hearts full of light

Making choices that are difficult
yet necessary to make;
preventing Sora, from making my mistakes.

Knowing how easy it can be
to let the darkness consume you.

Allowing it to take control
forcing you to hurt those you care about.
It's no wonder people
fear its domain.
Idiotically thinking it could 
easily condemn you.
and sniffing out the light. 


I will never fear the darkness.
for it will always be a part of me. 
Turning me into its wielder
to forever protect Kingdom Hearts
and it's world full of light.  

A poem to share my love of the character Riku from the video game francise Kingdom Hearts. I feel like he's a great anti-hero, who wields the darkness as a mighty weapon to protect those he loves.
