Raph's POV

They never understand, they never see me for me, all they ever do is judge and just look so...disappointed. Why can't they just see that I'm really truely trying! I haven't gone out as much...I mean I still go out because I need my space, but not nearly as much as I used to.

They only see my mistakes. Never my achievments.

Why don't they ever remember the good things that I've done? How many times I've saved them? Risked everything for them, or stayed and cared for them when they were ill, just been there to help out with a project, sparing or video game.

No. They don't see how hard I try. They only see my mistakes, my failures, my temper. My god damn temper. It ruins everything, they see my temper flare and hide. That just makes it worse though, I can come down...but seeing them afraid of me...it just makes me lose it.

It isn't fair. Every time one of them makes a mistake its just brushed off, but me? they just hold the mistake over my head, never stopping to think that it could possibly hurt me. They think I'm so rough, hard headed, unbreakable, stupid, and mean.

Maybe I'll just leave. They would be better off if I wasn't there, right? I only seem to cause them trouble...

I can't. I can't leave them...no matter how much they resent me. I am their protector.I am their brother and their gaurd.

So I will stand and take what they give, because maybe this is just how it was meant to be.
