A Reason To Stay by Regulus Arcturus Black
It is my duty to uphold the honor.
It is my duty to continue the line.
I have a status to maintain
And an image to uphold.
Always pure is the way
Our family must remain
Constantly trimming the tree of those
Not worthy of being a part of
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. .
Charred circle on the family tapestry
Are what they have become
But I am not one of them.
I never will be.
I refuse to become anything but what
I'm supposed to be because
I know nothing else and
Have no place left to go
But where my parents lead me.
No time to dwell on the past
And those who have left,
Because there is no one but
Myself.
