Gaara's Poem.

A poem Gaara writes about his life after being resurrected by Chiyo and no longer having Shukaku.

A/N. I do not own Gaara.

Warning: Spoilers up until Rescue Gaara Arc.

I am a monster

I am a demon

but also human

even more than that

I took the life of my mother

and was feared by everyone

I thought killing was my purpose

and I didn't need love nor friendship

I loved only myself

I neglected my siblings

and threatened them to death

I had shown others my "bad side"

and never my good

I did not sleep

for I would die

and Shukaku would take over

I was a weapon to most people

I led a lonely life

but then I met a boy

named Naruto Uzimaki

he also had a demon

but he was happy

he had friends that had accepted him

he taught me that I was living my life wrong

I needed to love others too

he said he too

used to be alone

but now there are others

I had a change of heart

but could I really love again

after what had happened in the past

I apologized to my brother and sister

I was forgiven

I had a fresh start

I was ready to change

I had then returned home

and I now have a student

her name is Matsuri

she was the only one to pick me as her teacher

everybody else was far too terrified of me

then Matsuri was kidnaped

as bate for me to rescue her

the team that had captured her

wanted my demon

however I got her out of this

and kept living my life

I became Kazekage

and protected my people

but then I was kidnaped

by the Akatsuki

for my Shukaku

they had extracted it from me

and left me lifeless

Naruto and the others

had attempted my rescue

but were to late

Naruto saw I was dead

and screamed at Chiyo

the woman who had sealed Shukaku within me

she listened to him

and resurrected me

costing her

her own life

Naruto had then awoken me

and I had risen to see

that everyone in the village had come to see me

I was cared for by others

and I had felt loved

so I had smiled

which was rare for me

but I was happy

happy to be alive

and happy to be thought of by others

So now I am free

free of my demon

free of my sadness

I would no longer

be feared

nor hated

or un-loved

I was a Jinchuuriki no more

it was just me

Gaara

and I would no longer be lonely

or have insomnia

for I could sleep

and I could be normal

and that's all I ever really wanted

I was a monster

I was a killer

I was a loner

I was a demon

I was feared

I was hated

I was alone

but not anymore

I am just Gaara

and no longer any of those things

I know it doesn't rhyme. But whatever.

Hope you Enjoyed it!!!!

Temari :)
