Emotions
Summary: Naruto reflects on emotions he feels.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Hurt. It's such a short simple word. It shouldn't mean anything. But it means so much to me. It's how I felt when everyone ignored me. Its how I feel today when I think of you, Sasuke. Its what I see in Sakura's face when someone mentions you. Hurt is what your brother did to you, yet you still continue to pass if forth to others.
Pain. Its what people feel when they are hurt. It's how I was raised. Suffering the pain, from people who hurt me. It how I feel when someone mentions "Sasuke" or "Team 7". We could have been so great. Pain is what I feel when I saw you again. Pain is what kills people. Physical or psychological. Pain breaks people.
Anguish. Its what I am under when I am in pain. It runs through my whole body, tormenting me. Is what I feel when I realize I am too late to save you. It utilizes and stops my happy thoughts. It keeps me from forgetting who I am, and what I couldn't do. It keeps me in despair. Anguish dejects people.
Guilt. Its what rushes over me when I'm in anguish. It despairs me, yet lingers until I can not bear it any more. It what I felt when they told me that I would most likely never bring you back. I hope you feel guilt for what you did. Let it wash over you and congeal you, render you helpless. Guilt destroys people.
Vulnerability. It's a longer word. It's how I feel after I let guilt brush away. It eats away at my courage, my strength, and my determination. Its how I often feel after you left. It stops me from accomplishing things that must be done. Distracts me from what is real and what is not. It creates a wall of fear that stops me where ever I'm at. Vulnerability discourages people.
Hope. It's what I feel after my feeling of vulnerability. It brings back my senses. It enlightens that tomorrow is a new day. It brings me thoughts that someday you will regret what you did and come back. I think hope is what has kept me high throughout all this time. It tells me that I still have hope for tomorrow, and you. Hope brings me to you. Hope holds people together.
