My fur bristles at the memory of my kithood. I was never in ShatteredClan, but my memory must still cling there like burrs on a long-furred pelt.

Okay, I was in that poor excuse of a Clan. But I wish I never was. Not after that day. That hour. That moment, that memory, whatever I called it that time. I remember it, unfortunately, like it was yesterday.

Not like I want to, anyway.

'''Ever since I could remember, Everything inside of me, Just wanted to fit in'''

I trotted into the nursery, eyes shining like stars. "Hi, guys!" I chirped, referring to Sparrowkit, Sparkkit, Shadekit, and Sunkit. I was Ripplekit. Innocent, sweet little Ripplekit. Little unknowing Ripplekit.

Shadekit rolled his dark eyes at me. "Oh, look guys. It's Ripplekit."

''' I was never one for pretenders, Everything I tried to be, Just wouldn't settle in'''

'''If I told you what I was, Would you turn your back on me?'''

''' And if I seem dangerous, Would you be scared?'''

''' I get the feeling just because Everything I touch isn't dark enough'''

 That this problem lies in me

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,

''' I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me. A monster, a monster, I've turned into a monster.'''

''' A monster, a monster, And it keeps getting stronger.'''

'''Can I clear my conscience, If I'm different from the rest,'''

''' Do I have to run and hide? I never said that I want this.'''

''' This burden came to me, And it's made its home inside'''

'''If I told you what I was, Would you turn your back on me?'''

''' And if I seem dangerous, Would you be scared?'''

''' I get the feeling just because, Everything I touch isn't dark enough'''

 That this problem lies in me

'''I'm only a man with a candle to guide me, I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.'''

''' A monster, a monster, I've turned into a monster,'''

''' A monster, a monster, And it keeps getting stronger.'''

'''I'm only a man with a candle to guide me, I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.'''

''' A monster, a monster, I've turned into a monster,'''

''' A monster, a monster, '''

''' And it keeps getting stronger. '''
