Expressing Me

Death Note: Light Yagami

So I was walking by one day bored,

When a book suddenly fell out of the sky,

My heart was pounding when I realised

I have the power to make people die.

The person whose name is written in this note shall die,

The book revealed its rules out to me,

I could kill criminals but then

I just started to imagine what I could be.

With a single name,

I could take away a life,

I just need a pen and the note,

No need for a sharp knife.

I spent hours in my bedroom,

Writing names of people who deserved death,

They didn't know what was coming,

Didn't value life until their last breath.

Too bad for them I guess,

But the world soon started to see,

Who was behind the killings?

I became a very big mystery.

The shinigami, a god of death,

My only 'friend' along the way,

But the humans have got their own plan.

This was no time to play.

The famous L got in my way,

He was labelled as the great detective,

Everyone thought I was a monster,

They could never see my perspective.

My dad was an important man,

He was working alongside L,

No one knew what his real name was,

If I knew, he would've gone to hell.

But L came up to me on his own,

And then revealed his secret identity,

With him in my path and way,

The world would have no serenity.

The day finally came,

The day that L would die,

When he did however,

I just pretended to cry.

Stupid foolish humans,

Why do they even try?

I had people on my side,

They knew I wasn't the bad guy.

This girl called Misa, a model infact,

She thought I was handsome and clever,

She fell in love and she was dumb,

She thought we'd be together forever.

How could she not know that I had no feelings for her?

The only thing I cared about was her eyes,

She had the power to see names,

How could she not see it was all lies?

But then L's little friends tried to be like their mentor,

They're nothing compared to L but they found out,

They found out my biggest, dirty secret.

But only I knew what life was really about.

It had all started that boring day at my school,

Destiny had dropped me a very rare, very terrifying death note,

My shinigami said he would be the one to write my name, he meant it,

 He's the only one that gave me revenge on the names I ever wrote.
