A/N: I think I'm going to go back and do something that I do best. . .poetry. I will do more stories, but anyway! This is from Hermione's POV. Please R/R.

I Tried . . .
(I Still Do)
At the beginning I felt all alone,
I had no friends, just my books.
I tried so hard to pretend I didn't care,
And when the occasion calls, I still do.
I tried to be happy,
With just ten fingers and a stack of books.
But sometimes trying isn't enough.
**
I found myself all alone,
Sitting in the bathroom crying.
I tried to hide my sensitivity from you,
Sometimes I feel so weak, and I still do.
Although there's nothing wrong with it.
Being just one girl surrounded by guys,
Sometimes it feels so intimidating.
**
I tried to act superior,
As if I were told to keep you in line.
I tried to hide the fact that I was shouting with glee inside,
Because I'd finally found some friends.
Sometimes I still do.
But I'm just another normal teenage girl,
Despite not having any real girl friends.
And I've been really thankful to have you for friends,
Because in the end, I don't have to try to be better.
I already am good enough,
just the way I am,
for you.
