This is just a random fic I came up out of nowhere after watching a few AMVs to one of my favorite songs: Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan. I was watching, and then I decided to make a fic about it. The title kinda gives it away, but it's a comparison of Naruto and Gaara and what makes them different from each other. I still think that the saddest past is probably Gaara. Sasuke's is traumatizing and a bit sad, but more traumatizing. Well, here it goes.
What makes you and I different?
You, a demon such as myself, were much like me.
However, you were able to make friends.
I, on the other hand, tried and failed.
I am nothing but a weapon, a monster of destruction to my village.
You are but a companion, a part of yours.
I am shunned by everyone I have ever trusted.
You had your teachers, your friends, while I had nothing.
What do people see that makes us different?
Why is it that you believe in people so much?
How is it that even when I tried to make friends, I failed, but you made friends by believing?
I will never know what makes us different.
The difference between you and I, it is what makes us alike.
Demons and monsters alike, we are different from many other people.
But as a person who shares the same problems as I, how can we be different by so much?
So what makes us different?
I may never know...
Kinda deep, kinda sad, kinda weird, kinda random. Not much of a poet. Anywho, this is in Gaara's POV(as many of you should have already guessed) and how he looked at Naruto BEFORE(emphasis on before) the Shippuden arc, BEFORE the Sound arc where the sand nins help the rescue team save Sasuke. Yeah, that was a LONG time ago. Oh well, just read it but you don't have to say anything about it.
