.: Pariah :.
noun
[ pa·ri·ah ]
1. One that is despised and rejected
2. An outcast
He always forgave,
He always saved
The people who shared
A heartless gaze.
Because they couldn't tell the difference
Between the container and the contained,
The hero that should have been
Is aching from within.
Each birthday, he would hide in fear
Because this time of year
Is when the villagers cheered.
Punching, stabbing, throwing,
It didn't matter to them.
They just wanted
The Kyuubi brat dead.
As the years passed by,
The young pariah survived.
He was still aching,
He was still hurt,
Trying to prove his worth.
A smile and laugh
Is all it takes
To create a goofy mask
That was impenetrable by fate.
His father from above,
Looked down in shame
At the village he saved.
He couldn't believe
He didn't foresee
The village's hate
As blinding as greed.
His mother sobbed,
In sadness and despair.
How could her son
Turn into a sacrifice instead?
She cried and screamed,
"World be damned to the highest degree!"
The children couldn't understand,
Why was the blonde despised and hated
Over and over again?
They glared and sneered,
Calling their children near.
"Don't go there!" they yelled,
"The demon is still alive and well!"
Knowing who to trust,
The children turned away in disgust.
The boy lost hope,
The damage was done.
None could relate to the little sun.
Then, someone leaves the crowd
And lends him a hand.
He learns that it's time to stand.
Little by little,
The blonde boy stopped being
Sad and bitter.
He had friends to protect,
A village to save,
A father to honor
And they did not turn away.
Brighter than ever,
The little sun shinned again.
Happy it was pieced back
Together again.
