A Vow

They do not hear me when I scream,

Nor do they see me when I cry.

They will not speak kind words to me

For they are all mute, deaf, and blind.

They hear a creature scream.

They see it howl in their pain.

They never seemed to notice,

That I was the one beaten lame.

They beat me with fists and clubs

And cut me with knives.

Just to let me feel the pain

That they had in their lives.

I no longer cry when they beat me

Nor do I longer fight back.

I've learned it just made it harder,

When they begin their attack.

After their done beating me,

They leave me there to die.

But my burden starts to heal me

And I always wondered 'Why?'

'What have I done to deserve this life?'

'Had I done something wrong?'

'What could have made these kind people'

'Look at me with hatred so strong?'

But then I would smile sadly

And remember the words an old man said

'To them you are a scapegoat,'

'For their loss and their grief.'

'Indeed they want you dead.'

I hadn't believed my ears

And my eyes burned from inside.

But then he said something else,

'For what you hold within.'

He told me then of my mother.

Of her strength and beauty.

Then he told me of my father.

Of his speed and mercy.

It had not occurred to me

That they had been heroes.

That they were dead.

I only realized that they had loved me

As I sit and think of my parents now

I think I must make them proud.

Make them proud of their home

And proud of myself.

I must live up to their achievements

And take my challenges in stride.

I will become great

Not because I am the child of heroes

Nor because I hold a beast within

But because I have a duty

A duty to protect their home

Our home of which we loved

Of which they died to protect

Of which I vow to protect.

I will stand up and protect my home

For I will be Hokage.


Me: So tell me what you think.

Muses: *still quiet an watching gun*

Me: See ya guys later! I have some bones to pick these guys...

Muses: *screams then faint*
