Sasuke's point of view

Chapter 3 – Be My Escape

Today is the 2 year anniversary since I left Konoha. I can't help but think of everyone back home, no, Konoha is no longer my home; I am a Missing-Nin now. I have no home. Leaving was probably the worst mistake I've ever made. I've recently been having dreams about what would've happened if I stayed back, if I didn't leave.

I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so
You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me

I can't help but think of Sakura, how she would've turned out if I hadn't left. I'm not stupid, I know about the Hokage's apprentice who had enough skill to surpass the legendary Sanin, herself. Would she have been the same useless girl, who needed me to protect her?

And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

I've made a huge mistake. And now, I cannot return. I was careless, I didn't think this over. I won't admit this, but I'm waiting for you to save me from this.

I'm giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

I'm waiting patiently for you to come, for you to pull me out of this mess.

'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

And I'm waiting for you to be my escape.
