P r a y e r.O f.T h e.H o p e l e s s


Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray no one should hear me weep.

Keep me sane all through the night.

Don't wake me at the mornings light.

Give me just a little time,

To hold the childhood that is mine.

Give me guidance through the dark

Before the reapers deadly spark.

Hold my hands, they're shaking, cold.

For what price can a life be sold?

Don't let me think, don't let me know

Of the comrades down below.

Hold them in your hands, so safe,

Stop this vile and evil race,

Keep them close and keep them near,

Know I wish that they were here.

I've never wished for death, my God

And now that life's so very hard...

If I must fight another night…

Don't wake me with the morning's light.


When you're young, things seem hard in the night. When you're pushed into conflict at too young an age? Well…

Kakashi centric. My heart goes out to him and I felt compelled to write this.
