Disclaimer: Sorry, I do not own Naruto.

a/n: Written in Naruto's POV. First stanza is really roughly written so maybe it won't make sense.

An Outcast and Your Friend

I was an outcast,
A dropout.
They weren't allowed to play with me.
Their parents would teach them
to hate me,
to look at me with cold eyes
That I detested so much.
They'd pick on me and no one was on my side,
I cried and continued crying,
until the day I could cry no more,
I was tired of being looked down upon
So I changed myself.
I would seek out attention,
Causing trouble where ever I go,
but then I would just end up with detention.

I envied the ones with the parents,
cause I never knew mine.
I never knew what it was like
to be cared for, to be loved by.

When I'm with Iruka Sensei,
I wonder what it was like to be with a father.
When I'm with you,
I wonder what it was like to be with a brother.

You ask me who I am,
what I am?
I answer you with two simple words

A Friend...

A/n: This was inspired by the Naruto manga (forgot what chapter) in the battle of Naruto vs. Sasuke. I almost cried in that ch. Had this written up a long time ago but I never got the confidence to post it up. Review please!
