Save You
I don't own Naruto, so don't sue me.
We are teens, from thirteen to nineteen, suffering from abuse, neglect, and paranoia.
We do have things to run from.
Where ever we turn, we have no one to turn to.
Screams of torched and cries of agony.
Can't you people see what happens to us?
Others make fun of us because we're different.
And don't know anything of what's happening to us.
Suffering daily is something we are familiar to.
Compared to us, they are living in paradise.
Yet they still complain.
Why is it that we know the pain?
Why do we get judged?
And they never do?
Will someone come save us, before it's too late?
Or will we perish because we tried to make it.
But got lost along the way?
Yes, our dreams have been annihilated.
Our fear has been gone for a while.
None of us have forfeited our hope.
Some of us have abandoned our pride.
Yet, our dignity hasn't been stolen right out of our hands.
They think we are weak for not fighting back.
But what they don't know is that, we are afraid.
Well, most of us are.
If word got to our parents that we were fighting, we'd be in trouble.
Some of us take the pain so our siblings maybe stay unharmed.
A few of us do take it and not tell.
Why, because we want to live to be something.
We want to have a life!
We want to know what it's like to be in love.
We want to understand different emotions.
Not just fear, sadness, pain, agony, and apathetic.
But happiness, joy, peace, serenity, and most of all.. Love.
If we say anything, we'd never see the light of day again.
And the rest of us, we have nothing.
Nothing at all.
No desire.
No help.
No comfort.
No friends.
No heroes.
Absolutely nothing.
Absolutely no one.
Absolutely empty.
Absolutely alone.
Absolutely unfeeling.
Absolutely... dead.
Sometimes we do wait for death to come and take us to the next world.
Will we ever find our wings to fly?
Or will we be doomed to stay flightless, and bound to this world?
Why is it that we must pay for the sins of others?
Why is it always us?
Do you people enjoy watching us suffer?
Are you that cold hearted?
We.. w-we..
Are we really just a waste of space?
Do we even deserve to be here?
Do we deserve to live or die?
Should we live or die?
We want to return to the days we knew we still felt alive.
We mourn each other.
Because there is a detail left unsaid.
And it's a reminder of the time we bled.[1]
We just want to be alone tonight.
We just want to take a breather.
Every time we get hit it takes its toll on us.
Oh, and did you know?
We think it's safe to say out loud that we're ready to leave you.
Without them, we live it up a little more everyday.[2]
We can't escape this hell.
We've tried so many times.[3]
But we never made it.
Telling our stories about how our bones are broken.
Hammers fall on all the pieces.
Sometimes we spend two months in the hospital.
With them, it's as if our complaints shrink to nothing.[4]
Here we are down on our knees.
Do you know that we are trying to find air to breathe?
And every waking moment, to some of us, only surrender will help us now.
We hate that they are never satisfied with our pain.
We take what they say.
But we don't go back and cry.[5]
Fighting doesn't end in forgiveness.
We try to fight this violence.
But all we get are sad tears and silence.
We're not going to fall and forget those who went so far to try and pick us up.[6]
Yeah, that's us: The people who have nowhere to go.
We have given up control.
However, somewhere deep inside of us, we know we're not alone.
We think we can make it out.
And we hope we will live to tell.[7]
We understand that we might not mean much, but...
We will try to be heard.
We will try to be seen.
We will try to find peace.
We will try to make it through this.
We will try to be understood.
We will try to keep living.
However,
We will have a future guided by us, no one else, but us.
We are the broken, we are the misused, we are the misunderstood, we are the ones who struggle to live, and we are the will and strength of the abused.
