Anakin - A Verse
By Sherry Chen
Thanks: To Coral Drouyn for the astounding book, Emma Thompson for her
screenplay, Daniel Nutley for his feedback and Elana Myles for her
encouragement.
Rating: G
Summary: Anakin Skywalker reflects upon himself.
Time Frame: Takes place from the end of TPM to around the end of Episode
III.
Disclaimer: I don't own Anakin. I don't own Star Wars. All the credit goes
to George Lucas. This is just something that I managed to whip out from
thin air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
Am a boy,
Who was a
Slave,
Who is motherless,
Fatherless and
Lost.
Lost I have been
Lost I am and
Always will be.
The
Sun rises
Each morning bringing
Another day,
But each day
My choices remain
Limited.
I
Am Anakin,
A boy who dreams
And hopes
That one day someone
Will take me away
Into my dreams,
So that,
Even though I
Will be lost,
I shall be happily
And willingly
Lost.
The
Code I try
To stick to and
Obey,
But it is cruel
No love allowed
Makes me
Lugubrious.
I
Am a
Growing man,
A person who
Nobody understands
Clearly;
Nobody I know
Any longer trusts
Me:
Even when I am
Telling the
Truth.
Master
Kenobi I will miss -
Or should I?
Would I?
It is Padme who
I will really leave behind,
For the others have
Already left me.
My
Freedom and Happiness
I will no longer
Have,
For once I leave
The Light
I will have
Left forever.
