You wonder why I hurt you,
Why I terrorize you,
Why I mutilate you,
Why I scar you.

Do you really have to wonder?

I was once like you,
Innocent and sweet.
I was an orphan of the deserts,
Forced to steal, just to eat.

Do you think that did not effect me?

I came to curse the pharoah,
And all that he stood for.
Power, glory, riches, freedom,
He offered all of that, and more!

But not to the likes of me.

So I turned to the tombs.
For the dead accepted me,
In a way the living never did,
And tho blinded, they could see.

Yet they could do nothing.

So you dare to call me bitter?
To mock the "life" I lived?
Does it really matter what you think of me,
Past the lessons of pain I give?

And the truth is...

I do not want you to turn out like me.
Never grow bitter, never lose hope,
Keep your eyes on the light in the tunnel,
Even as I sever the rope.

A yami within a yami...

I have an even darker side,
You do not want to meet.
You think that I beat you so badly Ryou?
Well tell me,

Who is it that beats me?

WSJ: O.o; I dunno where that came from... *shivers* I think it was partly from Sunfalling's poem Tomb Robber and partially from White Angel's The Ring, the Theif and the King. Anyway, I don't own YGO, and I would appreciate any reviews you can chuck my way. ^_^
