Omega Squad
Through the cracks they grew
On them the winds blew
One flower was trampled
But it pressed on, determined
Fallen petals, torn leaves
But unbroken its stem remained
Another stood tall
Struggling not to fall
Its petals spread open
Smiles was its goal
The third was kicked
But was strong like bricks
It stood up straight
Strength and wisdom were its pick
The final had a healing scar
But the space it grew was more ajar
Visited by a butterfly
Its life is going more than far
They have many challenges
More than they have earned
But sometimes a tiny prize, there is
But for those common things they yearn
A/N: Just in case the metaphors weren't that clear, the first section of four (starting with the third line) is about Atin: Line 1: His first two squads were killed 2: self explanatory 3: What Vau did to him 4: He was able to keep his spirit strong, in a way.
Next is Fi: 1 and 2: He hides his real negative feelings, like how he felt about relationships 3: He's open, as in he talks a lot. 4: He tries to get people's minds off things through jokes.
Then Niner: 1: He not only lost a squad, but also Two-Eight 2: He tries to stay strong 3: He takes his role as a sergeant seriously 4: He thinks first and tries to keep the squad going.
And Darman: 1: He lost his squad, and, like everyone else, still carries the pain 2 and 3: Because of Etain, he has more possibilities in life 4: His unborn son.
