It's not easy being Voldemort.

Please review, and be kind. It's my first fanfic x

Being an eternally evil, overlord of dark magic is a lot harder than you think! I mean... come on! I don't think people give me enough credit for the struggles I go through.

Don't get me wrong, my life isn't all bad. I'm incredibly famous. Everyone knows the name Lord Voldemort... Harry Potter wishes he was as famous as me! But of course, as a celebrity, my life is very difficult. Everyone hates me, just because I killed a few hundred people and caused 2 wars. ONLY 2! Isn't that funny? That you make one mistake, by turning into an evil bastard, going bat-crap crazy and destroying peoples lives, and suddenly the public hates you!

It's not entirely my fault, that I'm a psychopath. I grew up in an orphanage, for goodness sake! Do you think there were many loving, caring people there? No, there weren't. I used to cry myself to sleep as a child, I still do most nights. Don't judge me!

And then there's the whole thing with trying to kill baby Harry... When is everyone going to let that go? Don't lie, you would've done the same thing! That boy was going to grow up to kill me, of course I'd take the opportunity to slaughter him as a baby. It kind of backfired, cause he did grow up to kill me...but...well...oh shut up!

I think people should have a bit more sympathy for me. I was forced to hide in a mans turban, for gods sake! *shudder*. I still can't get that weird turban smell off me! And after I did return to power, I got a defective face! I mean... Seriously! People seem to think that I chose to be reborn without a damn nose! It's so embarrassing! And people tease me about it. They say "Hey Voldemort, can you smell that?" Or "Hey Voldemort, do you wanna come and get nose piercings with us?" Come on people, grow up! It's not my fault.. It's part of the reason I cry myself to sleep.

Now that I think about it, it's no wonder I'm a psychopathic mass murderer... But that doesn't mean they all have to hate me for it! It's all Potter's fault.. He's the one who ruined everything. I was respected before he swooped in and defeated me at only 1 year old. Then I turned into a laughing stock, a walking joke!

But believe it or not, I don't hate the Potter boy. Sure, I want to kill him. And sure, he defeated me countless times... But you gotta admit, he's pretty awesome.

So, yeah... It's not easy being me.
