Gaara's Inner Tourniquet
Author's Note: I decided to make a short poem about Gaara… I know everyone does it, but it was just fun to do it.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything except this poem itself, Gaara belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I wish he were mine.
Gaara's Persecution
Because of the lack of
A word scarred on his head
The people he had always known
Wanted him dead
This word could have saved him
Could have turned him around
But by then
His bitterness know no bounds
He was born into hatred
Unloved from the start
He always walked alone
With no one
To call his own
Everyone feared him
They didn't understand
That all he needed
Was a single outstretched hand
He had family
A father who tried
To erase him
And in the end, died
Two siblings
A sister, a brother
But they turned their backs
No different than all the others
There was constant terror in their eyes
All because his body was a container
For a demon within
But the only one
Who was truly suffering
Was the innocent boy it was in
