I Tried - For Athrun - By Jessica
This is a Gundam SEED poem....don't criticize....I suck.....It's about Athrun during episode 38....unless it was ep. 37 or 39.....the ep that was shown at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday the 22nd!
It doesn't rhyme, I don't own Gundam SEED.
Flying high in the sky,
I see the damage done to the earth;
It surprises me,
It scares me;
To see the damage one thing can do.
She said he lived,
That he escaped;
How could I possibly believe that?
The rubble covered the land,
My Aegis was gone.
I saw the kids,
And Revered Malchio,
Standing there before me;
He invited me in,
To see the news,
This also surprised me.
All the war,
All the damage;
The hate,
The wounds,
The sorrow.
The children hated me,
Because of my suit;
How could I blame them?
I left soon after,
And flew to battle,
Not expecting to be much help.
I saw the battle,
My heart tore;
Then my eyes were caught,
On a suit of armor,
The Freedom was here!
Was it truly Kira?
Was Lacus right?
Is Kira alive?
I was fighting myself inside;
I saw him fighting,
But still I did not move.
Lacus asked why I fought,
And I could not answer;
Malchio said that war spread easily,
But was hard to end;
He was right.
Lacus asked what I believed in;
What did I fight for?
Did I fight for my medal?
Was Lacus correct?
I hate myself.
I made up my mind,
I knew what I fought for;
No medals or orders;
No longer did they matter.
I fought because I chose to.
The mobile suit fired,
I got in the way,
I was determined,
I was set;
Today I fought for me.
Not for ZAFT;
Not the Earth Forces;
Not Orb or neutrality;
I had no orders;
I was me.
Kira didn't know it was me,
Maybe it was the best;
But I knew it was him,
That's what mattered, right?
Today I was his friend.
We've been friends,
We've been enemies,
Maybe we'll stay that way;
But at least now I can say,
I tried.
The lines are here because, no matter how I tried, I couldn't get the spacing between stanza-things to stay. Read and Review.
