The Line

Many opposites where separated only by very fine things and it was easier then one could ever expected to slip and find themselves sprawled over the other side. Easy enough for a woman to wake up and hate her lover the next morning.

And the entire while the word played along: everyone held the same masks and while some never approached in others courted it, they welcomed the danger, the thrill and exhilaration- to jump between to states of being was their ultimate being. But it was never too long before they broke, before one fay they missed their step, missed their punch, dodged their kiss and went sprawling down, over, under, further then they could ever hope to return.

No, these where the ones lost to the minority.

And those that had fallen found the pieces of who they used to be, who they used to know and who they used to admire: they scooped up the shards of being into a giant heap and began creating their masks pieces of everyone and everything.

The day innocence is lost is when you realize the only people who don't understand are the innocents. And that's the day the majority fall over the line and begin building their own masks, twisted and demented their only purpose to shield both sides to the world.

And so they stand, they walk, they dance, they taunt, they play, they fight, they court, they fall.

And so they weep.


A/N: Well I've got no idea where that came from, rather depressing isn't it? I actually made this while thinking of Kakashi though it can be applyed to any character in Naruto I think. I suppose you guys might hate it, I wrote it to the song: Nayhan - Altered Flight and I'm sure where most of it's charm from the time came from.

I hope you got something out of this.
