Stripped Down

Inspired by: Naruto (anime)

I feel cold... detached

Hated... scorned

It never was my fault

I never wanted this.

Why can't they understand?

Tell me

What did I do to deserve this?

What evil did I unleash?

How many deaths are to be blamed on me?

I was the known Kyubi vessel

A prankster at heart

But they never did realize...

That all I wanted

Was someone to care...

Someone to acknowledge me

And to know my existence

But they never did indulge me

They wanted me gone

They didn't want my corruption

My evilness, I suppose

Afraid I might make their children like me

.... As if I'd have wanted pain on anyone else....

I once thought

That if I tried hard enough

I would finally receive it

My hard-earned price...

But they kept it from me

Selfish people, they are

Forcing my comrades to leave

Painting evil of my ways...

Tell me, is this my destiny?

Will I be forever cursed with this affliction?

This demon inside me?

But then again as I watch the sun rise

I remember.....

I never did believe in fate or destiny

The only thing I believed in...

Was me.
