Edward Elric-
A genius.
A state alchemist.
A child.
He always acts
So grown up
And yet so childish
At the same time
Can't you see?
He's still a child,
he just grew up
Far too fast.
He learned things
An adult couldn't even begin
To comprehend
At such a young age.
He lost someone
So dear to him,
And he attempted
The impossible.
He learned the harsh reality
That surrounds him
Entraps him,
Even in his dreams.
In thinking that it
Could lessen the pain
He tried to grow up.
But he was so young.
He was a child.
No- IS a child.
One that tried to grow up,
But couldn't.
He hadn't changed,
He was still the same.
He was Edward Elric.
Nothing would ever change about him.
Mask or no mask,
He can hide his emotions
From others,
But not from himself.
So what is he changing?
He's merely changing
What other people
See him as.
He's still the same.
No mask can change him.
After all, behind that mask
It's still Edward Elric.
He's still the same boy,
Who grew up far too fast.
He's still the same boy
Under his mask.
A/N:
It's true, don't you think? I think I saw it in a movie once, someone tried to grow up, thinking he wouldn't feel as much pain.
Sorceress-fox: Put a story to it? Hm, I just might. I was thinking about it, anyways... The rain poem? Yeah, I really like that one, too. x3 Thanks!
