To Be Me
Look at me
I ran through the compound.
I will never pass
For a perfect bride
I just ran away from my family, and my future husband.
Or a perfect daughter
I could hear my father, Hyuuga Hiashi, yelling at me, telling me to come back.
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part
He is threatening me, saying that if I don't come back right away, Hyuuga Hanabi, my little sister, would become the heir, and I will become a member of the branch family
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I ran into my room and slammed the door. After making sure the lock was in place, I looked out my window. Walking down the street was my crush, Uzumaki Naruto. He was the one I wanted to marry, not some random feudal lord. I turned back to my dark room.
I would break my family's heart
In a few hours, I will go back out to the family. The lord would be long gone, and my father will tell me how I bring shame to the Hyuuga clan. He will say how I am a failure.
Who is that girl I see
Staring strait back at me
I look into the mirror on my dresser, and see a face. The face of a princess, her face covered in makeup.
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know
My reflection isn't reflecting how I really feel, and who I really am. I am a warrior, a kunoichi, a ninja. I am not some primp and pretty mistress.
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am though I tried
I rubbed some of the makeup off without thinking. Realizing my mistake, I try to put it back on, but Hanabi did it for me. Giving up, I wiped off the rest of the makeup, and changed out of my kimono. I got into my ninja outfit and sandals. I attached my kunai pouch to my leg and walked over to the dresser again.
When will my reflection show
I looked in the mirror, but I still didn't see me. I looked down and grabbed my forehead protector. I tied it around my neck.
Who I am inside
Then I felt complete. I knew who I was meant to be: not Lady Hyuuga, but Hyuuga Hinata, the kunoichi; Hyuuga Hinata, the ANBU. I grabbed my mask and put it on. Then I jumped out my window to sneak away like I do every night. My father will have to wait to berate me. For now I am going to train.
When will my reflection show
Only when I am done training, will I go back to my room and turn into someone I'm not.
Who I am inside
Until that time I will be me.
So...this is my first post, so constructive critisim would be very helpful.
I just thought this song screamed Hinata.
Hopefully more stories will be on the way, but the band season is starting. It actually began before school let out.
