Caged

NOTE: I don't really like the kung-fu panda movie but I wrote some fanfiction for it anyway, and no it's not hate fanfiction or anything like that.

I remember.

I was so angry when I was told I wasn't the dragon warrior. I lost my temper, all of that work, down the drain. But it was worse, it went deeper. Shifu, who had been like a father to me and promised me that all those years, had betrayed me. All the promises, the closest thing I had to a real family, broken. Lost.

Which was why I started destroying everything.

I always had had a hasty temper.

It was raging and uncontrollable. It possessed me and controlled my actions.

I couldn't help myself, I wanted to stop but I couldn't do that either. I feel so useless, I can't even control my body.

In the end someone stopped me. I'm glad they did for I wouldn't want the valley destroyed.

A prison I saw necessary but this one…

It was hell.

They put me here because they feared me. But their fear possessed them as anger possessed me.

Before now I never realized how much emotions influenced our actions.

Emotions hurt me.

Their fear broke me.

But the rhino…

When I entered here I wasn't a monster.

But this place, built out of fear…

It's turning me into something else.

And whilst I try to resist it.

This cage is moulding me into the thing they fear…
