Suggested Listening: A thousand faces by Creed

AN: Another reject songfic lol. Actually... that's what most of these are. Hahah.

~Faces~

You wear a thousand faces Mello, The orphan, The detective, The obsessed, The catholic, The broken, The crazed, The driven, The attention seeker, The badass, The defeated, The lonely child, The friend, The abuser... so tell me Mello... which is you?

Is it The lonely child, the one who used to cry long into the night, muttering in a strange and beautiful language and clutching desperately at glass beads that hung from their neck?

Or is it The crazed young man who I watched shoot out the brains of another human, who had the cruelest smirk as they stuck the gun in the front of their pants and spat on the dead body, who hadn't even blinked an eye at all the carnage?

Is it perhaps The attention seeker, the one who used to start fights whenever there was a crowd simply to get them to watch, the one who wanted to be the best so that everyone would have their eyes on no one else but them?

Maybe The driven, the boy who had endless amounts of dreams and wants and the ability to get them all should they have gone down the right path, or still got what they wanted even on the wrong one?

Is it The broken, who called on a rainy night, covered in blood and half conscious with burns all over them, hair matted to their wounds with sweat and grit, who cried when they were moved and held a set of broken beads clenched in a leather covered fist?

Could it be The Catholic, who prayed every night no matter how good or bad things were, and covered themselves in crosses despite the sin they committed within direct view of their god, the one that muttered prayers under their breath and in their sleep and still kept a bible despite the fact its pages were blood stained and faded?

Perhaps The Obsessed, who would go to any lengths to obtain their goal, no matter whom had to be killed, kidnapped, raped or dismembered to do so, who despite their regrets simply couldn't stop?

Or maybe it's The detective, who loved the challenges posed by a new case given in class, who simply lived for the hours and hours and sometimes days of research and study that it took to solve the riddle, solve the crime?

Or even The badass, who encased themselves in leather and ate chocolate and loved their guns in the front of their pants, who had a scar that marred the left half of their face who had eyes the color of blue steel?

Maybe The defeated, who in the end decided they had lost despite being the one to have to sacrifice everything in order to actually triumph?

Or The friend, who stuck by me no matter whose fault it was we got caught by the caretaker, who defended me when I was too small to do so on my own, who would play games with me despite the fact they sucked at them?

Or the abuser... who despite everything never failed to take their aggression out on their oldest friend, their lover, who destroyed everything?

You have many faces Mello, and despite how long you have been in my life, I still can't find who you are. So tell me Mello, which one is you?

-End-

AN: Erm... I seem to be going to the opposite scale now... lmao. It's different than the others, but I don't know, I kind of like it... :)
