Hey! I'm not sure where this came from, but I rather like it. So, enjoy.
Just Harry
They look
And they see only a hero
Confident, strong
Powerful and secure
They never see the truth
Lucky, protected
Insecure and unsure
When you listen
Do you hear me?
When you look,
Do you see me?
Do you see the scar
Or the glasses and hair
Or the green eyes?
Or do you see Harry
Just Harry
Glances and whispers
Stares and shouts
Always watching
Never seeing
What lies beneath
The stories and lies
A boy
Who misses his mum
Who's never known his dad
That's all I am
But no one knows
For all they see
Is the scar
The glasses and hair
And the eyes.
I am not James
I am not Lily
I am not
The Boy-Who-Lived
I am Harry
Simply, only,
Just Harry
Why am I
Held above the rest
For something
I did not do?
Why is my mother
Forgotten, ignored, dismissed,
When she is the hero?
They look
And they see
Their hope,
Their hero,
Their Savior
The Chosen One
They are wrong
I am a child
I have no great power
I cannot save them
I am only Harry
Just Harry
Yet the fate of the world
Is placed on my shoulders
I am expected
To take the burden
Without complaint
Without knowledge or forewarning
Do they truly
See a hero in me?
If that's true
Then I wish I could see him too
For all I see
Is me
Just Harry
Review please? I'd appreciate it very much.
