So Go On

---

Green and silver

All the way

The only one in your family

Mum and Dad are so *proud* of you

You were named after a ~Slytherin~

After all

[[But why do you feel so horrid?]]

So out of place

A /snake/ among \lions\

Dom, Louis, and Rosie are in /Ravenclaw\

Hugo's a -Hufflepuff-

But they're accepted

((Approved))

But you?

You're not

Your own brother wouldn't look at you for

MONTHS

It doesn't .help. that you're friends with the

M:a:l:f:o:y boy

You're just a snake

Not To Be Trusted

You used to be the

= Good Child =

But now you're just

- The Child -

You're the puzzle piece that doesn't have a place

You ]don't fit[ with the ~Slytherins~

Because of your family

You ]don't fit[ with your family

Because you're a ~Slytherin~

You DON'T belong

You're just stuck in the |middle|

|Always| |in| |the| |middle|

Nothing you do ever turns out right

You try to be ;brave;

You're c,u,n,n,i,n,g instead

You try to make f.r.i.e.n.d.s

You're labeled a t/\r\/a/\i\/t/\o\/r

You try to be your best

You're shunned by your brother

Why do you even try anymore?

So go on

HissHissHiss and r.a.t.t.l.e

{{Scare them all away}}

And s/l\i/t\h/e\r back to your (hole)

Because you'll -always- be a

~S~n~a~k~e~
