Everybody's always talkin' at me
Everybody's tryin' to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'I need to count on myself instead
"Sometimes life dishes out bad cards to good people." -Unknown
For one blonde Kyuubi vessel this statement was oh so true. Harsh words, avoidance and outright hostility are a day-to-day thing for the poor boy. Without parents he has never had anyone to turn to…till now. He has come to rely on a certain raven-haired teen; this however has proven to be a problem. Said raven has left, leaving the blonde on his own once again…all he has is himself. He can always count on himself!
Did you ever
Lose yourself to get what you want
Did you ever
Get on a ride and wanna get off
Did you ever
Push away the ones you should've held close
Did you ever let go
Did you ever not know
"One sole desire, one passion now remains to keep life's fever still within his veins, Vengeance! dire vengeance on the wretch who cast O'er him and all he lov'd that ruinous blast." –Thomas Moore
'I left it all behind…in the end was it worth it? I avenged those I loved…but was the price to high?' These questions haunt the mind of one dark haired youth, a youth with a past to match his empty eyes. Maybe he took it to far this once, maybe he should have told them he was sorry he hurt them…maybe. So many things left unsaid…so many painful tears shed. Was it worth it?
I'm not gonna stop
That's who I am
I'll give it all I got
That is my plan
Will I find what I lost
You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right
That is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
"The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed."-Richard B. Sheridan
Despite how hard life was on the boy, his cerulean eyes shown with happiness. He not only had himself, no he had a dream too. To some the dream might seem foolish, but to one loud obnoxious teen it was his reason for life. He would give it his all, He. Would. Win. He had to show the village who he was, not the demon vessel but a boy with dreams…dreams and a plan. He would succeed!
How will I know if there's a path worth takin'
Should I question every move I make
With all I've lost, my heart is breakin'
I don't wanna make the same mistakes
"Our greatest battles are that with our own minds." -Jameson Frank
Uncertainty is something he battles with everyday…but only on the inside. His clan blood would never allow him to show it, he was far too proud. He wonders where he should go; maybe home would be a good start. He doesn't know how much more he can take, will he be welcomed back? Maybe home isn't where he belongs…even if home is where the heart is, should he risk the pending pain? He wouldn't make the same mistake twice!
Did you ever
Doubt your dream will ever come true
Did you ever
Blame the world but never blame you
I will never
Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game if I can't play it my way
I'm not gonna stop
That's who I am (Who I am)
"Doubt whom you will, but never yourself." -Christian N. Bovee
He wasn't always this determined, he has had his doubts…but he always snaps back into reality when his dreams come into question. Never using the orthodox methods he is often scorned, but hey…you've got to do it your own way. He will always fallow his heart!
I'll give it all I got
That is my plan (That's my plan)
Will I find what I lost
You know you can (You know you can)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right
That is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." –Dale Carnegie
Even with his life in shambles his bloodline keeps him strong, he is proud of his name. He will never show it, no not while he still breathes…but…he does love his friends. No matter how few of them there are, they are all he has left. His blood related family is gone, but he has come to except a new family…his team. He will always protect those he loves!
Oh, hold up
Give me room to think
Bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing
Hold up
It's no good at all
To see yourself and not recognize your face
Out on my own
It's such a scary place
Ooh
The answers are all inside of me
All I gotta do
Is believe
"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?" -Fanny Brice
No parents, no other family…all he has is himself. So what does he do? Why make a name for himself. He demands attention from those around him, he makes them look…he makes them see. Like his catch phrase says, he makes them notice him, "Believe it!"
I'm not gonna stop
Not gonna stop till I get my shot
That's who I am
That is my plan
Will I end up on top again
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (Bet On Me)
I wanna make it right
That is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
"I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay." - Dave Matthews Band
Separate these boys are, in a sense…flawed and weak. But together they make one hell of a team. They have been through so much in their own rights, and when both stories are told it is heartbreaking but what cannot be overlooked is their friendship, it gives them strength. It pushes them to the limit of their ability and beyond…they are Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
Best friends and bitter rivals till the end!
You can bet on me
