Monster
This is what he had become. For years, he had tried to deny it, but it never worked. Each night, he would change. Darkness and loneliness would swallow him and he would become his worse fears. The monster buried inside him. Not the demon he had. A monster that lives in everyone and feeds off the worse emotions. How he had tried to hide these feelings from everyone. How he wanted them to see him happy, laughing in the face of sorrow. But the walls were crumbling. The monster took more and more control at night, and was now even clawing its way out during the day. Even now, it was taking control. In the middle of his training, Naruto was fighting the biggest battle of his life. And no one knew. No one saw. No one heard the screams of pain and sorrow that ran through his head daily now. Yet, he thought at least someone heard them. But no one did. Not even his closest friends. He knew that no matter what he did, know one would know. And no one would ever know. He had to face this on his own, no matter what. But his only question…
Would he ever win?
