Cera is constantly being mean to characters like Littlefoot. Yet, we really don't see him lashing back for the most part. He charged Cera in I, got in a fight in V, argued back in Through the Eyes of a Spiketail, and so on, but those were rare occurences, and Cera is mean almost all the time. I wonder if he is bottling up some negative feelings about her constant treatment towards him. We seem him brush her harsh behavior aside a LOT. That is what inspired this poem.
My Inner Turmoil
I try to hide it everyday.
My emotions swirl in a negative way.
Cera the Three Horn is my friend.
Nonetheless, my heart does rend.
With constant abuse, it cannot mend.
What am I to do?
I knew the proper path to take.
My confidence was not a fake.
I wanted the left but she went right.
Her decision almost a tragic sight,
We nearly did not survive the fight.
What am I to think?
I gained a friend but lost a mother.
With her loving tongue, she did smother.
Now I’m left with a rude little jerk.
Each passing day, I meet her smirk.
I just can’t see her as a perk.
What am I to feel?
She argues with me all the time.
Her company should be a crime.
I try so hard to show her kindness.
But it’s like she suffers from a blindness.
Her constant anger is so mindless.
How should I react?
I try to treat her with respect.
Yet to her dad, I’m just an insect.
What good is coming from my toil?
My kindnesses she just does spoil.
She tramples my feelings just like the soil.
How should I continue?
For mother’s sake, I try to be strong.
But maybe in this, I’m doing it wrong.
About other kinds, maybe mother was right.
I grow weary from this endless fight.
When I’m with Cera, there’s so little light.
How should I behave?
All I can do is harbor my feeling.
To lash out would not be appealing.
Oh, Cera, why are you so mean?
Is cruelty to you so keen?
A bright future I haven’t seen.
I can only take so much.
