"Masks Bound by Chains"

Living lies as I set foot in society,

Placing a 100 fool-proof façade.

No one knows the real me,

Nobody but my self-alone.

Taking off the mask I wear when no one is around,

Playing the role of another character,

Learning the lines, practicing endlessly

Until I can't tell which one is the real me.

Building the walls within yourself

Block by block, this is how it goes

Standing on my own, lonesome

In a crowd of faceless masses

Hidden behind that façade of mine

Fooling everyone about the real me

I can't afford slips-ups;

They'll force the truth if they knew

Feigning my cheerful act

They'll soon learn to ignore me

Feeling unwanted or out of place: an outcast

Wanting to return home

Sometimes it's hard to breathe

No one really notices

They only see my mask

Never looking underneath the underneath.

Hiding emotions behind a mask

Hiding my real emotions, slipping on the fake

Anger, pain, worthlessness, so much more

Hidden all behind a mask

Waiting... until someone shatters it,

I will look down and gather the pieces

Soon it will repair itself

Mending back in my routine.

Until something, someone

Willing to shatter my mask

Gathering the pieces before I can

And hide them away

Forcing me to expose myself

And care for me, loving me...

The one behind the mask

The one I locked away from society.

One will bring me from my darkness

Into the light

Freeing me from

The mask that held me in place

The chains that bound me

The ones i locked myself away in.

Freeing my from the chains that bound me to my mask.

I truly believe this is how Naruto feels, I really just think he is hiding behind a façade, to mask his true feelings, to be able to handle the pain in Society.
