Naruto

I hear the whispers and mutters

I feel the sneers and glares

I wonder what I did to deserve this

to be called a monster

to be treated like trash

don't they know

I didn't do anything

nothing to deserve their hurtful words

it doesn't matter to them

I lift my head up and smile

I'll show them

I'm going to protect them all one day

and then

then I'll be respected

they'll look at me with reverence

the whispering awed

yeah

they'll respect me

until then my smile will help me hide

from the hate and disgust

as long as I smile

I know

I know that they won't win
