Sasuke, a complex and troubled character
A young ninja, with a troubled past and a goal in mind
He sought power and revenge, and let it consume him
Ignoring the bonds of friendship, and leaving behind
His journey was one of solitude and darkness
As he walked a path of hatred and pain
But even in his darkest moments, there was a glimmer of hope
A chance for redemption, and to regain
His humanity and the bonds he once held dear
He learned the true cost of his actions and his pride
And though his path was rocky and difficult
He found his way back, and on the right side
So let us remember Sasuke, and his journey
And the lessons he learned along the way
For we too may face difficult choices and challenges
But with strength and courage, we can find our way.
About the Creator
making space
Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.
