Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto - how's that for short and sweet?


This World

Pouring rain from cloudless skies
Nothing worse than a bad situation
Thunder screams above for answers
Drowning out any explanation

Loneliness, a barren land
Shadows stretching from lifeless wood
Corpses litter fruitless ground
Silencing the misunderstood

Pressure crushes heaving lungs
Weighing down on shoulders, sore
Hard to breathe in heavy darkness
Solitude grinds my spirit raw

Smothering gloom on dampened flesh
Dank as my desolate tomb of fears
Rotting heart in my asinine chest
Maverick for too many years


AN: Well, not my usual style, so many metaphors! This is about Naruto, and his feelings. I suppose it could also be true for some other angst-y characters too (Sasuke, Gaara, Kakashi, Iruka when he was young etc) but this was written with Naruto in mind, you of course can link it to any character you like!

So mostly about the oppression of loneliness, how dense it is and how heavily it way on you. Also about confusion.

Oh, and please comment, any comments are more than welcome!
