Not an update. But have a poem.

So, I was searching through my files on my computer, y'know, like you do. And I found a folder called "Acrostic poems because why not". I opened it up for the heck of it, and of course I find just one little document sitting there, titled "Riku Replica". So I go ahead and open that up, preparing myself to be like "aha, that was cute, look at my silly little acrostic poem"

Instead I find this sucker:

~

Real.

It’s something I’ll never be.

Kindling my feelings oh so carefully, but I’m still:

Underestimated. Unrequited. Unloved.

Replica. What I am for

Eternity.

Placid smiles, all faked, with a

Laid-back attitude-

It’s a lie, too.

Carefully dodging my fate,

And always reaching for you

~

Like, I know it's not the best poem ever written or anything, but it was better than I expected it to be.

Yeah

It actually kind of floored me with how not-cute-and-silly it was. (Because acrostic poems are those poems they always have you write in Kindergarten and other grades in elementary school and they're usually just silly little poems and I've only seen a few non-silly little acrostic poems before.)
