Reflection: I Didn't Want to Be Born this Way

 is ... I have no clue honestly. Is it a poem? A speech? That's why I just called it a Reflection. Anyway, the following is about a character's history from their point of view. It's something else, something different then what I usually do lol. I don't know why I wrote this, I kinda just did. Written by Sci100.

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

But I took two things and was able to make something new

I changed people, I changed lives

I tried to contain it, but it was too strong

He came into my life, he tried taking her away

But I wouldn't let her

My rage became unstoppable,

hurting the one I loved

Driven away by madness and fear,

I fled.

I didn't ask to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

I met a friend

A friend who was like me

Who wasn't normal

He could do things like I could

We were the best of friends

but then he hated me

we fought

and he betrayed me

Just like my family

but I took something from him

and i wasn't giving it back

Driven away by madness and fear,

he fled and soon I would follow.

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

I thought what I got was great

But I got another curse

he was his fault, he did this to me

He hurt me and I wanted to hurt back

I tried to hurt him but i failed

he changed me

I was a monster

a freak

and now I was forced to live with it

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

I found a way to free myself from this new curse

yet I was trapped

doomed to die and suffer and rot

I nearly did

A big dog-thing almost had me

but then he found me

he was a new friend

the father i didn't have

well that's really not true

I had a father

two really

one never was really around

the other feared me

we both hated my old friend

but then he told me what he wanted

he made me do horrible things

change kids for the worst

he hurt me and the others

others who were just like me

he made us do bad things

horrible things

but one day we failed

and then we forgot

I forgot my friends

and soon the trouble ended

I wasn't a freak anymore

I wasn't a monster on the outside

yet I knew I still was in the inside

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

I had met one of my old friends

forgave him

become a friend with him again

and I had found happiness in the form of an unexpected source

she with her brain and her smarts and her magic

I was truly happy

But then boom

I was a freak again

I was a monster

I didn't deserve happiness anymore

Yet in the darkness of it all

I was freed

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

I met someone like me

but he wanted power

infinite power

i fought him

we fought him

but he became a monster

just like I was

we followed him across time and space

to the place beyond our realm of existence

it was there where I realized I had to make the ultimate choice

I had to willingly become the monster again

I knew I would hurt the ones I loved

I knew that I might not come back this time

but I had no choice

So I touched the ultimate weapon

and became the ultimate monster

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

I attacked every ally, every friend

I was the greatest enemy of my time

she tried to stop me

she believed in me

but I was too far

I was about to do everything in my power to destroy her

but the light returned

I was free

I didn't want to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

There was peace

the monster tamed

facing new threats

old threats

and even demons

I left with the girl I loved

I helped save the world

I helped my friends

and then he showed up

the one who took me in

who made me a weapon

he tried to use me again

he hunted me

attacked me

manipulated me

his words were his real weapon

and with them, he tried to make me turn

he tried to make me believe in the coming storm

but I knew the truth

I knew my real friends wouldn't harm me

they weren't the threat

he was

with my friends I stopped him

and I knew then that my troubles could no longer hurt me

I didn't ask to be born this way

I didn't ask to be given this curse

but now I knew it wasn't really a curse

It was a gift

True, I wasn't born this way

but no one is born the way they want to

I was a hero and a villain

I was light and dark

but I was okay with that

for I wasn't a weapon

a freak

a monster

I was a friend

An ally

and I am content with who I am.
