I am closer than you think...

Closer, closer to the truth...

I’m swooping down on angel wings...

Lent to me by one you took.

I’ll snap your halo right in two...

So that the world may see the truth.

The truth you tried to hide from me...

The truth that even you can’t see.

You say you’re Light, but light is bright,

A perfect place for hidden lies.

And now the world has blinded sight,

to you shadowed soul and heart of night.

And you may think I stand alone,

but those you took are still besides me...

I can’t do it on my own,

But I know they’ll be there to guide me...

You are wrong, we will go on...

With every setting sun, comes a brand new dawn.

I will not bow, I will not fear...

I am wings.

I am justice.

I am Near.

-------------------------

Near was written in my head while I was 'doing math' in school. I always respected how Near kept going, even after all of his um, 'friends,' died. I know some people really dislike Near, but I always thought it was so moving that Near in end stood up to Light with L and Matt and Mello, even if they were only finger puppets. This poem is meant to show how in the end, through Near, L, Matt and Mello won, and were avenged.
