When he was young, everyone shunned

Him

No one ever acknowledged him or

Accepted him

Because he was their savior.

He had a demon-spirit within him,

Was sacrificed for the village's sake.

And instead of being the village's hero,

He was ignored and shunned.

He never knew a parent's love,

And thus did wrong things to attract attention.

Even though it was a bad type of attention,

He was acknowledged.

Just Watch Me.

One day I'll be Hokage of Konohagakure.

And one day, I will be respected at last.

I am Uzumaki Naruto. Just Watch Me.

I risked my life to save my friend.

I won't give up, not ever.

So what if I'm a little weird.

I'm always gonna be your friend.

So have some faith in me, because I have faith in you.

One day I'm gonna be Hokage.

So just watch me.

Authors Note: Another poem I created about...two years ago? I still love it, even if I wrote it when I was less experienced with Naruto, and the poem is a bit childish. It is a bit sappy, but I'm content with just the way I wrote it. Yes, the alignment of how the poem is formatted is a bit unique, but I think that it helps show the meaning of the poem better. It is first person I suppose, obviously Uzumaki Naruto speaking.

Since this is poetry and completed, I'm not going to edit it, but a word or two would be quite kind of you.

I hope you enjoyed this. ~Rayne
