What I'm Supposed to Be

a poem by aki. enjoy~

___________

The sounds of cats in pain And the scent of blood; I can't stand the pain unfolding around me

But it's a fight And a fight's supposed to have blood and pain I'm not supposed to be sickened by this; I'm supposed to be a warrior

How can I be a warrior when I can't even Stand the sight of scarlet staining the ground? I'm not supposed to be weak; I'm supposed to be a warrior

I was bred to inflict pain, To feel blood on my paws I'm not supposed to go against this; I'm supposed to be a warrior

But is being a warrior so great? When you have to kill to Enforce your position in your Clan?

I'm supposed to be loyal, I'm supposed to be brave, I'm supposed to be a warrior

Around me, the battle rages on, The shrill noises of pain fill my ears And the strong scent of blood floods my nose

If being a warrior means I have to kill, Then I don't want to be a warrior I hate being a warrior

I'm supposed to be fierce I'm supposed to be valiant I'm supposed to be a warrior

I don't want to be a warrior No one understands I wish they'd listen

What does it mean, To be a warrior?

I just want to know
