A/N: Today is Draco Malfoy's 30th birthday! I wanted to write a new fic for him today, but I was too lazy, so here is a crappy old one from my notebooks. It's in poem form, and it kind of sucks (don't judge me! I've gotten better!) but…yeah, here it is. :D

I've always been afraid

of thunderstorms, but I knew

since I was six

not to tell anyone.

My father would just laugh

and call me a coward;

tell me to be a man.

"Maybe Cruciatus will encourage you."

My mother would feel sorry for me,

but father (with his bright cold eyes like shining steel,

so cruel)

would convince her I was best left alone.

I couldn't tell my friends

for fear they would no longer respect me

(fear me.)

So on cold summer nights,

I lay wrapped in my sheets,

hugging myself

and waiting for the world

to blow itself apart.
