A/N: Alright... I wrote this to Adi-sensei, but since this sounds so much like Naruto in his darkest moments, I decided to put this here.

-----------------------------------------------

The cool blankets

next to a draughty window

the fiery hot radiator burning my skin

the warm nest, so I'd wish

disappears into nightmares of my tired mind

dream after dream

the smoky, dark wisps in my mind

the ray of sun, arriving too early

awakens me, tears my eyes

opens the world before me

the warmth of my skin lingering in the blankets:

The world can hardly appreciate the sacrifice

I make every morning just by getting up
