I have always been on my own.
My mother is a doctor,
And we move around a lot.
After the first few times,
I realised that we would never stay
In one place long enough to make friends.
So after a while I stopped trying.
I never stopped being polite,
Just, going out of my way to meet people.
With time, it was accepted that I was a loner,
One who went without friends.
Not that I didn't want them,
It just didn't seem possible.
I spent increasing hours studying,
And my grades also picked up speed.
Topping class lists never increased anyone's popularity,
And the same held true for me,
Rumors abounded, I "cheated", "took drugs";
They believed I was a "brain-school flunky".
Moving on never helped,
For I remained on my own.
I took extra courses after school,
And spent my spare time in the library.
My computer and books were the only friends I needed,
And I was content in their company.
Until we moved to Tokyo.
I chose the best school,
Its name "Juuban Junior High".
With the exception of the "brain-farms",
It was the best Tokyo had to offer.
I arrived on the first day without hope,
Armed with my new books and uniform.
But as soon as I got there they started,
"I heard...", "She looks...", "Her hair's blue?!".
I sat through the first morning's lessons,
And scored highly on the pop quiz.
None spoke to me, I was left alone,
And that was how I wished it.
At lunch I found a secluded spot,
And sat by myself to studey.
When disrupting my peace came a burst of sunshine,
Who introduced herself as Tsukino Usagi.
Usagi.
What my life would have been like without her,
I can not say.
I only know that she was my first true friend,
And my life is so much better now that she's here.
She introduced me to a whole new world,
Of friendship, happiness and love.
She opened my eyes to my past,
And a history of life long ago.
I learnt to rely on my powers,
But also to trust in my friends.
Using my skills to guard the princess,
I know that I am valued and trusted.
Twice now, I have given my life for her.
And gladly will I do it again.
For I am not alone anymore,
Thanks to my dearest of friends.
