The Weapon Called Shinobi

A broken weapon, I am useless now.
My value is gone, my future is death.
I gave you my life, gave up my last breath
so your dream would live. You could never know
the joy of being shattered like a sheild
to protect a friend in his time of need,
to trade your life for his, the pride to bleed
for that precious person... My fate is sealed.
I was a child with no purpose at all
until you came along and made me whole.
Demon of the Mist, you molded my soul
to be the feather bed that breaks your fall
when your world comes crashing down. Forget me,
like a broken sword or a kunai-knife
with a dulled edge, because I lost my life.
I was just your weapon, a shinobi.

Author notes

Anyone who watches the Naruto anime or reads the manga, you should know what this is about. I wrote this after rewatching the episode of Naruto in which Haku sacrifices his life in order to prolong the battle between Kakashi and Zabuza. I hope that all of you anime fans enjoy it, and that anyone who has never seen Naruto will still enjoy it. Also, if you have never tried Naruto, please do! It is an execllent series!
