The laughter,

It shielded the tears,

The smile,

Covered the frown.

I was alone,

I finally realized,

I had a home.

I couldn't help,

But get sad,

Seeing people leaving,

With their parents.

I want people,

See me,

To reconize me.

I was so happy,

Playing with friends,

Until time came,

For them to go home.

I couldn't help,

But get sad,

Seeing people leaving,

With their parents.

I wanted attention,

I played pranks for it,

I want to be hokage.

I understand Gaara,

So much,

It hurts.

I know how it feels,

To be sad,

To be in the shadows,

But if you look around,

You always have a home.
