Farewell, Konohagakure
(A poem from Sasuke's viewpoint)

The final leaves have fallen
Sombre tones of browns and blood reds contemplating my darkening desire.
Claws of a whispered curse have gripped my soul
A promise of power locking out the last ray of light
That has drowned on my horizon.
The waiting game makes its penultimate move
A step that forces me to reconsider
The life I have blindly set up for myself.
The smiles are meaningless,
Laughter has turned sour, consumed in the turmoil
Like tornadoes in my mind.
Haunted by those eyes and a keleiodoscope of disorder,
I grow tired of the self pitying sonnet
Playing out in my head.
This subsistence has become a joke
And I am the punchline;
The faded figure of the shadow who once pretended to be my brother
Refusing to dematerialise.
So, like the leaves I shall depart,
Leaving behind this conterfeit existance I foolishly call home.
Realise already, Konoha
That my silent rendition
This desire for retribution which I scream from behind a reticent gaze
Has always been more
Than just a childhood wish.
Please turn your backs on me
For I have done the same to you.
