I Don't Need You Anymoreo-0-O-0-o
More than half of my life has been dedicated to
The one
The only
Sasuke Uchiha
o-0-O-0-o
Everyday I would pine after him
Greet him
Hope
With all of my heart
That he would remember my name
And speak it as fondly
As I do of his
o-0-O-0-o
Then I was placed on his team
Team 7
I was so happy
I almost cried from joy
o-0-O-0-o
Then after that
Whenever we were training together
Walking together
Or fighting together
I would try to impress him
To make him think that I am something
That I am strong
That I am worthy
o-0-O-0-o
I knew my taijutsu skills were weak
So instead
Everyday I would study my scrolls harder
And harder
Forcing myself to go beyond my limits
To the point where I'd break down
From trying to force so much knowledge into my brain
And then I'd just cryJust for him
o-0-O-0-o
And even before that
I gave up my friend
My first friend
My best friend
My only friend at that time
The friend that gave me strength when I was weak
Who helped me stand after I fell
Who made me who I am today
She was my fairy godmother
Who granted my fondest wishes
And I gave her up
All for you
All for you Sasuke
o-0-O-0-o
And at the same time as all of that
I was growing out my hair
I made it long
Just because I heard a rumor that you liked girls with long hair
My entire focus in the mornings
While in the bathroom
Was my hair
My pink hair
The part of my body that made me think I was unique
I tried to make it as silky
As shiny
As beautiful as I could
And it usually took me two hours
Half of which I spent in the shower with a gallon of shampoo and conditioner
And the other half was spent
Styling it with my blow dryer and hairbrush
Until it reached near godly perfection
If I ever had a split end I'd freak out
And rush to the nearest salon
And I did all that worrying
And I spent all that time
For you
And only you
o-0-O-0-o
But that one day
That one fateful day in the chunin exams
While in the forest…
I realized something
o-0-O-0-o
That revelation hit me so hard over the head,
I felt dizzy
I felt nauseas
o-0-O-0-o
While I was fighting the Sound shinobi
That one girl grabbed my hair
Saying that instead of training
I spent precious time fawning over it
And grooming it
And taking care of it
I wanted to shout out
"I DO NOT! I TRAIN MORE THAN ANYBODY WOULD EVER THINK OF ME!"
And of course that training was studying
Instead of fighting arts
But I didn't care to mention that
Because I realized she was right
I spent so much time over my hair
Which were just dead skin cells
That would eventually fade away
And for a boy
That only cared for me
As a friend
And most of the time
Not even that
So when she grabbed me by my blush colored hair…
……
…
…
……
…I cut off
I cut off my hair
Along with my obsession
Along with my admiration
Along with my standards
And along with all of my feelings
For Sasuke Uchiha
And after I cut it off
I was left with
My pride
My independency
My dignity
My dignity as a kunoichi who could live through her life
Without needing anyone else's pity
Without needing everyone else's negative comments
Without needing him
Without needing Sasuke Uchiha
o-0-O-0-o
I am me
I am not going to define myself by your standards
Not anymore
Not ever again
o-0-O-0-o
FIN: Hello, I hope you liked the drabble. Anywho, I used to be a Sakura hater and in a way I still am, but this is my little apology to her. The reason I didn't like Sakura was because she threw all of her precious things away to be with a guy that didn't even like her. And then I saw a picture of her from when she was in the forest of death in the chunin exams. She looked so determined, and so strong, so willing to give up what she had to protect her friends. And then I realized that her willingness to sacrifice for something made me hate her and admire her. So my thoughts are that she would be SO much better off without that Sasuke bastard.
