Forever in your shadow
I was always in somebody else's shadow. From when I was a little girl, to my teenage years, I always in somebody's else's shadow- be it Narcissa, or even my idiot sister Andromeda.
Somebody was always better than me, prettier than me, funnier than me, and even smarter than me.
I hated it. I wanted to be in a spotlight of my own- center stage, with my family off in the wings. I wanted to be the star, the only star.
You have probably heard my story, or what you thought was my story.
But nobody knows the real story, the truth behind all the Ministry propaganda, or the legends.
No one except me.
And so, you might see me as a murderer- a filthy Death Eater. You might see me as an idol- in the Dark Lord's Inner circle.
But whatever you see me as, I am simply, and will always be the person I am. I do not deny the fact that it was my choice to go into the Dark Side, I do not deny the killings, the torturing, the death that was all on my behalf. I deny none of it, and you will never hear me say that I do deny it.
You might walk away from this story with understanding; you might walk away from this story with even more confusion, or disdain, but no matter what you do or say, I will tell you my story.
I'd had stopped caring about what other people think of me a long time ago, why should I start now?
I shouldn't, and I wouldn't.
I am Bellatrix Black Lestrange, I have nothing to be ashamed of.
And I never will be ashamed of what I am.
