Wallowing in water 7 angst again...

Here’s something of a downer, I’m afraid, more dark in tone than my stuff tends to be. Feel a bit guilty about posting it, in fact, though not enough not to do so. It’s one of those "I don’t-really-like-this-but-it’s-kinda-interesting" ideas that you can’t quite let go of.

It’s delving into something that might have been on Zoro’s mind during manga chapter 438. I hope this doesn’t come across as Zoro-bashing – I’m fully aware he probably never felt this way in the first place, but even if he did, as I’ve tried to depict it’s just a small part of him that does, one that he wouldn’t accept as the real him - perhaps his inner demon, even.
(Maybe it's because I think that, just as I try not to shy away from unpleasant thoughts here, neither would Zoro?)

Anyway, warning for unnecessary angst and all.
Oh, and it’s in verse.

( Did I scare everyone away from this yet? )

Tomorrow there will probably be fluffy pics! ^_^
