A/N Anyone who thinks I own Harry Potter is a nutjob.

This freeverse is a look at Albus Dumbledore.

From the Freeverse Challenge prompt: Smile.

You have been around for a l-o-n-g time

You've made your +mistakes+

{It's for the greater good}

You have your (regrets)

{Looking down at your sister's grave}

No one s(e)(e)s them

You hide your /i/n/s/e/c/u/r/i/t/i/e/s/ and \f\e\a\r\

Behind your |smile|

And the *twinkle* in your eye

{Have a lemon drop, my boy?}

They think you know everything

And you let them think it

The weight of the {w}{o}{r}{l}{d} is on your [shoulders]

{You put it there}

You are the (only one) he -fears-

But you are not |p|e|r|f|e|c|t|

And one +mistake+ can lead to your (death)

Keep Smiling

{Severus, please}
