The Scar
Summary: A poem about Auron's scar and how the age-old wound is nothing to be mocked
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Final Fantasies or Auron. Tragic.
Note: I wrote this because I read a couple of FFX fanfics where the author insulted Auron's scar. I just feel that it's something almost sacred and shouldn't be insulted. Please review!
There was a man, old while young
Composed of pain, love, and war
Filled with memories, of songs sung
While young he dreamt so big, wanted so much more
And through the years, he fought many battles
He won many and lost a few
Clad entirely in his red and black mantle
Made two friends that made his old heart feel new
The man, his life was full yet hard
Auron was his name, proud and strong
And because of one fateful battle, his face became scarred
In my loving opinion, to insult such a hurt is just wrong
To say his face is ugly is a crime
It's beautiful, it's painful, it's a memory, it's him
I love his scar, as much as if it were mine
To mock a memory is just a sin
The scar on his face speaks of his immense loss and gain
It sighs of the battles he's lost and those he will fight and win
It speaks of the memories, the many memories of joy and pain
Truly, the scar isn't just on his skin, Auron is the scar
He's broken yet whole, indifferent yet overflowing with emotion
He's been here so long, done so much, he's traveled so far
He's been hurt in a way that cannot be healed with just a single potion
He hides behind the scar and yet he tries to hide the scar
Auron's face is dark and scarred and he frowns so darkly
But when he smiles, his face is suddenly young, and his eyes shine so brightly
The scar is what makes Auron who he is, his face is not that marred
Auron's scar is what makes him the man he is today
And I don't like it when people think it's horrible
It's symbol of his friends, his life, his memories that will not go away
Even though people may say it's ugly, I think the scar, like the man, is truly beautiful
