Note from the author (About the full fic):
I have been watching Naruto for quite a while now and I was surprised to see that the creators of that series never exploited the full potential of one of their very interesting characters. Don't you think that Gaara's story could have been even more detailed as he had a pretty interesting life? I think so. That is why I decided to write this story relating the first few years of young Gaara. I tried to keep the characters' personalities the best I could to make it realistic. Constructive reviews are welcome and, the most important thing, be honest about what you tell me in them !
Specific information about this chapter:
This prologue is just a little poem I wrote about Gaara's existence. It is not really a part of the story but I thought it was a nice way to start and put the readers in the mood ! Sorry about the seperation of the paragraphs. It seems that using the "horizontal rule" was the only way to make fanfiction notice that I was actually trying to split the text into 4 parts.
Desert Graveyard
In the harsh desert of reality
I had been looking for an oasis of love
Quicksand of loneliness absorbed me
Forever masking the stars of friendship glittering above
In the harsh desert of reality
I had been looking for an oasis of love
Sandstorms of insults struck me
"The monster" was the one they were afraid of
In the harsh desert of reality
I had been looking for an oasis of love
Mirages of joy tricked me momentarily
Before flying away as would some doves
In the harsh desert of reality
I ended up losing my way
Sunburns of pain consumed my heart entirely
Ashes are all that is left of me today
I am Gaara of the desert.
