Summary: Kikyou reflects on her former life. (Based on the events of episode 120/manga volume 28)
I tried so hard
to live
without doubts and without mistakes.
The way I knew I should live.
I tried so hard
to do
the things I knew I should do.
I tried so hard
to be
the person I knew I should be.
A person
without fear
without pain
without shame.
Encased in walls of solitude.
I cried without a single tear.
I
tried
so
hard
...only to fail?
And yet
now
my heart smiles
as
I realise
there is no shame in being human.
