AN: I was feeling extreme angst after reading a fic that was completely OOC and the shitty characterisation of Sasuke annoyed me no end. So this is my remedy for bad writing.

No Longer
Once there
was a boy
A loving,
kind boy
One that
had a mother who comforted him
One that
had a brother who once loved him
One that
had a father who finally saw him
But the
boy was thrust into darkness
And no one
saw the hurt and fear
Eventually
hidden by the mask I wore
Because
they didn't care
Not one
little bit
I was once
a boy
A shinobi
worthy of greatness
Deemed
only a tool
For the
use of others
Itachi
of Retribution
Kitsune
of Rivalry
Hebi of
Power
There's
a jagged tear across my heart
It's
cold and unforgiving
Just like
the ice that freezes
Just like
the pain that immobilises
There's
a jagged tear across my soul
A longing
that twists beyond recognition
Just a
permanent mar of brokenness
Just a
permanent reminder of death
There's
only pain now
Or what
people say is pain
I don't
know
I don't
know how to feel
Any more
There's
only breathing now
So slowly
it only stills
There's
only beating now
Sadistic
thumps in the void
There's
nothing now
I don't
know the concept of a past
There is
only the present
And the
everlasting need
Or so they
tell me
My mind no
longer tells me
My limbs
play to their tune
I no
longer trust me
There's
a jagged tear across my heart
So why
should I feel
There's
a jagged tear across my soul
So why
should I live
There's
only pain now
Why
isn't there silence
There's
only breathing now
Why
isn't there
There's
only beating now
Why
isn't
There's
nothing now
Why

If you don't get it, itachi means weasel, since I'm talking about the representative animals of the people being talked about. (weasel, fox, snake)
