Shadows

When I fell I was young and naïve
Now, that's almost impossible to believe
This magical place taught me so much
Just unfortunate that I ran out of luck

I was merciful at first, sparing them all
But then that started to get pretty dull
I just kept failing, my HP getting low
My Bravery wavered, and started to go

When I battled Papyrus, I couldn't control it
I'd fell right into a deep and dark pit
Inside my mind, no one could save me
I just had to commit sin, don't you see?

When I got to Waterfall, I swore an oath
I wouldn't allow myself to sizzle like burnt toast
I would stay in control of my actions and mind
I would always be compassionate and kind 

My plan was satisfactory for a short time
But that all changed when I saw Undyne
I could hurt her, she's so strong
She would recover her HP before long

That turned out to be a terrible lie,
Despite her strength, I made her die
But for once, I felt no remorse or shame
I had finally grasped it; life was a game!

I reached Hotland, the capital of the Underground
I tiptoed through without a sound
Someone remind me why I was 'Bravery' again?
Of crime, audacity and fear, I was a blend

I finally reached Mettaton EX,
His attacks were worse than any hex.
And it was here where I met my demise,
I'm not sure if it was a blessing in disguise.

As I faded away, I looked down
My body was black, my mouth in a frown
As I was taken by death, I whispered to my non-existent toes;
"We all have our shadows"
