Please make my character a leper

Answer 1

In a dim-lit town, where shadows creep and glide,
A leprous soul dwelt at the city's side.
With tattered rags, the fabric worn and pale,
He wandered forth, his presence like a tale.

His visage marred by sickness' cruel embrace,
A mask of sorrow etched upon his face.
Yet in his heart, a gentle spirit thrived,
An inner warmth, though cast aside, contrived.

Upon his brow, a crown of thorns was laid,
His hands, though trembling, within kindness played.
In whispered tones, he spoke with bated breath,
Of life, of love, and even thoughts of death.

Though cast away, the world would scorn and jeer,
He'd share a laugh, as if to quell the fear.
With laughter light, he danced through bitter nights,
A jester's heart amidst the lonely sights.

He bore the weight of solitude and pain,
Yet in his eyes, a spark refused to wane.
For every tear, a hidden joy would bloom,
A flower bright within the shadowed gloom.

So let not pity be the gift we send,
For in this leper, our own truths commend.
A lesson learned, in forms both raw and real,
That love, though scarred, is still the heart's best seal.
