Song fic with Martina Mcbride - Concrete Angel. A good song to listen to while reading this one.
He walks to school with the lunch he packed
Nobody knows what he's holdin' back
Wearin' the same shirt he wore yesterday
He hides the bruises with cotton and lace
'Why do they glare at me like that? What did I ever do to them? Why do I have to run from them? Why are they beating me? I'm sorry…'
The teacher wonders but he doesn't ask
Its hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes he wishes he was never born
'I heard there was another beating again… no wonder he ain't here… too bad I had to mark those tests… serves that demon brat right…'
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
'I guess you'll have to wait for some time… when will I see you again, father? Mother?'
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbours hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
"Kill the Demon Brat before it gets away! Kill it while it's weak!!"
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
"Guess I'll be coming soon… wait for me, mother… father…"
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel boy with an upturned face
A name is written on a damaged rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
'Rest in peace, Naruto. You deserve it the most. I'm sorry for not protecting you…'
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
'Good bye, world… and good riddance.'
A/N So, what did you think? Awesome? Good? Bad? Horrible? Well, as long as you like it! I didn't hear the lyrics properly at first, but now that I have seen the music video of it, I feel VERY spoiled. As you may or may not have noticed, I changed the lyrics around to suit the fic. Hope you liked it! Push that little button once you're done!! I'll be waiting for reviews!
