Difference

Whispers.

There was always whispers,

Always behind my back.

Whispers of hate,

Of loathing,

Of disgust.

Their eyes,

Never looking at me,

But threw.

And when they did,

Their eyes would sting,

Would hurt,

So much so it made me want to die.

But,

I never gave up.

I could see it,

It bugged them.

I was never one deemed for greatness,

I always had to work harder then everyone else,

Harder every night,

Harder then I ever wished to have worked.

Even if I had done it wrong,

I'd find a better way,

A better path.

That was the difference between me,

And those who were against me.

I was a fighter,

I would survive.

Survive to protect,

To protect the ones I loved.

And the ones that loved me.

Even after all that I had done,

Your eyes still held hate.

Hate towards me,

But that was the difference.

Between you,

And I.

I would protect you,

Till the day I died.

Because I cared.

For my dream to come true,

I had to make you trust me,

Make you understand.

I am not like you.

I am better,

I will never be like you,

Because I do not hate,

I do not kill.

For if I would,

I would turn out to be exactly like you.

And I will never let myself,

Never let myself turn into you.

Just because I was chosen,

Doesn't mean,

I wanted it.

I never wanted it,

This,

The demon that stayed within my small body.

It was him,

Him who had cursed me with such a power,

But he save you from it.

Saved you from the demon,

And locked it away.

Away in his son,

His greatest sacrifice.

To give up his child,

To make him live a life he never wanted,

To make it harder.

But that was never his purpose.

Never his idea,

Never his want.

To have you turn on me,

To have you hate,

To distrust.

He believed,

I was a hero.

Whom saved the village from destruction.

He trusted you,

With his greatest treasure.

And how do you repay him?

You turn your back to it,

Trying to ignore it's existence.

To pretend it never happened.

To turn your backs upon me,

Is to turn your backs upon him

Him who saved the village,

Countless times.

His trust in you was strong,

Stronger then mine.

But you never have to worry,

Because I will take his place,

I will always be there for you,

Like he had been.

Even without your love,

Without your trust.

I will always be there for you.

That is the difference,

Between you and I.
