If I Were Me

by GarnetMonstrosity

It isn't me. Don't fall for it's flattering lies and honeyed words that tell you just what it wants you to hear. Don't believe it's sob stories. Don't fall, like I did, like so many before me. It'll use you, and consume your soul after you serve your purpose. Don't listen. Don't fall. Stay alive. This is my warning, the final one. But you can't hear me, can you?

2. Carefully Falling (Naruto & Obito)

But when I close my eyes,

I feel alive,

And maybe that's the reason why,

I'm dreaming!

My mind rewinds.

But still this endless sky,

It can't fill my heart.

So let's break free!

Escaping the reach of the night.

Odd Future, AmaLee

I see him when I fall asleep. Black hair, black eyes, pale skin. He looks like those people I see on the streets, sometimes. He likes to "talk" to me. He says things, but I can't hear him. He seems to hear me just fine, though. I catch him mouthing the words Uchiha, Hokage, scarecrow, Rin, rocks, stone, and regret. Sometimes I worry about him, this mystery boy in my head.

I asked the Matron, a few weeks ago.

"Do you see boys in your head when you go to sleep?"

She turned white, and stormed out out of the room, shouting something. She warns the children not to go near me now. I'm not allowed outside my rooms, except for mealtimes and visits from Jiji. It's lonely, but when I fall asleep, he's always there, waiting.

I see a man sometimes. Grey hair, black eyes. His face is mostly covered by his mask and hitai-ate. I feel strange when I see him. Sad, angry, loneliness, regret. I feel bad for him. He seems as if he hold the weight of the world on his shoulders.
