.:Note:The speaker is Naruto, and who is he speaking to? That is up to the reader.:.
ME? Could you trust me? Is there any possible way you could ever trust me?
ME? JUST ME? No ideas, no images of false conception, just me as I am? The runt, the idiot, the doofus, the ingrate, the orphan, the scorned-could you trust that?
ME? Do you even know me? Do you know the person behind the runt, the idiot, the doofus, the ingrate, the orphan, the scorned? Do you even care-are you even trying to see the person I am really behind all that? Are you even willing to try that? If you're not, how can you trust me?
AM I WHINING? Really, I just want you to trust me. I want someone to jump up and shout 'I TRUST YOU'. That's all. No more, no less. One person's good. One person for now, and then the people that trust the person that trusts me will also trust me. All I want is one person to trust me-is that too much to ask for?
CAN YOU? Can you ever do that? Can I ever hope for you to do anything like that for me? Can I ever expect you to jump up and shout? If you do trust me will you be strong enough to let other people know you trust me? Can you be that strong? Can anyone? Is it impossible?
I HOPE. I hope, I hope, I hope. I hope you can. I hope someone can. I don't care who, but I really want it to be you. I trust you, and I want the same from you. Can you trust me? Just me and not some image or false idea of me? Is that possible to do? Are you strong enough to step out from yourself like that? Are you, am I?
IT DOESN'T MATTER. I'll stand here as long as it takes, until someone jumps up and shouts: 'I TRUST YOU', and maybe, maybe, it'll be you.
