Summary: Naruto bleeds.

A/N: This even made me cry.

On a lonely swing in a quiet park

A little boy sits all alone

He has no friends, he has no family

No precious people to call his own

Sealed within is a monster fox

That the villagers hold in fear

But all he wants is someone to care

A thought reflected in every tear

I will become Hokage, he tells the whole world

I will make my name be known

But no one wants to acknowledge his dream

He is worthless to them, on his own

The eyes he sees are frighteningly cold

Hated by his peers and their elders

And a part of his soul dies each time

He sees mothers and fathers, sons and brothers

So he wipes away his tears and slides off the swing

Walks the streets till his feet are sore

The sun goes down but he doesn't notice

Desperately searching for something more

A lonely swing in a deserted park

A little boy with a simple need

Never before would Naruto have thought

There'd be a million ways to bleed.
