Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto, I would love to…..but I don't – but if you want to know what I do own it's this poem and the rest of the one shots here and with that being said and done I hope you enjoy.

Summary –this is Gaara's point of view of the world and himself.

GAARA

I am a monster to other people,

I wonder why my heart hurts so much,

I hear screaming, from every direction, mind numbing noises,

I see people running, fleeing from the like of me,

I want to exist, to be cared for,

I am a monster to other people,

I pretend to feel nothing,

I feel cold inside and out,

I touch the bitterness of my heart,

I worry about being forgotten, not existing period, not being loved,

I cry about not being wanted or loved (but on the inside)

I understand who and what I am,

I say I don't need anybody; I only need to love myself,

I try to feel nothing,

I hope that one day I won't feel like this anymore,

I am a monster to other people,
