Heartless Since Birth (Killua Zoldyck)

Silver hair, cold stare — Zoldyck code.

Raised where love came sharp and cold.

They ain’t raise a son, they built a blade,

Taught me how to smile while a body fade.

Mansion halls with a voltage hum,

Poison in my food just to make me numb.

“Adapt or die” — that was bedtime talk,

Learned how to silence a room with a walk.

Mama stitched wounds like medals earned,

Silva just watched to see what I’d learned.

Finger through chest — clean exit wound,

Heartbeat stop in a second’s tune.

No playground scars, just kill commands,

Blood on my sneakers, calm in my hands.

Before I hit ten I mastered control,

Detach from the scream, detach from the soul.

Cold-blood calm, I don’t flinch, don’t shake,

Built from pressure they tried to break.

Assassin blood? Yeah it runs in me —

But I cut that leash. Now I choose who I be.

They said attachment weakens the blade,

But Gon saw a kid they couldn’t invade.

Didn’t see murder when I would grin,

Saw someone fightin’ the war within.

Illumi’s needle deep in my mind,

Not just control — it rewired design.

I ripped it out with hands that shook,

Realized fear was a leash they took.

I ain’t scared of death — I grew up there,

I’m scared of becoming the nightmare I wear.

There’s power in killin’, sure, that’s true —

But power’s greater when it’s chosen by you.

Don’t call me heartless — I calculate.

Mercy measured. I regulate.

I could end most fights in half a blink,

But strength ain’t rage — it’s how you think.

Nen spark crawl under my skin,

Lightning mode — let the storm begin.

Godspeed flow, reaction gone,

Body moves before thought is drawn.

Every shock they forced on me

Turned to speed and clarity.

You trained for glory, I trained to endure,

Pain made sharp what blood made pure.

Blink — I’m there.

Pulse — you drop.

Electric silence.

Heartbeat stop.

But I don’t fight to dominate space,

I fight so kids like me find place.

Not raised as weapons. Not born to obey.

But free to choose their own damn way.

Cold-blood calm, but the ice cracked thin,

I’m more than the house I was born within.

Zoldyck name — I won’t deny it,

But my future? Watch me defy it.
