All I know
#~#~#~#~#
AS I THINK BACK OVER MY LIFE I FEEL SLIGHTLY CHEATED, I
FEEL LIKE I NEVER REALLY HAD A LIFE OF MY OWN, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS NOW I
JUST HOPE THAT EVERYONE APRECIATES THE LIFE THEY WILL HAVE WITHOUT THE SHADOW
OF DARKNESS THAT HAS PLAGUED SO MANY OF VOLDEMORT'S VICTIMS AND I WISH THAT I
COULD HAVE BEEN A PART OF THAT, KNOWING THAT I WON'T IS LIKE SOME STRANGE
DREAM…
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it pass by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
#~#~#~#~#
I WAS A FOOL… I GUESS THAT SEVERUS
SNAPE WAS RIGHT ALL THOSE TIMES HE SAID THAT I WAS TOO CAUGHT UP IN MY OWN
ACHIEVEMENTS, I WISH NOW THAT I HAD LISTENED, MAYBE THEN I WOULDN'T FEEL SO…
EMPTY…
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on
But didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
#~#~#~#~#
I WANTED TO SAVE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT, A LIFE
WITHOUT FEAR OF PURSECUTION, WITHOUT THE ENDLESS DREAD AND CONSTANT DEATHS OF
GOOD PEOPLE, BUT IN THE END I FORGOT WHAT I WAS FIGHTING FOR, I NEGLECTED THE
PEOPLE WHO I CARED MOST ABOUT, MY LIFE BECAME HOLLOW AND I GUESS THAT IT DROVE
ME TO THIS… I HAD TO LOOSE EVERYTHING
OR I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FINISH THE JOB I BEGAN AS A BABY…
I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me
Will eventually
Be a memory
Of a time when…
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To loose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
#~#~#~#~#
I KNOW NOW THAT I WAS WRONG, KILLING VOLDEMORT WASN''T
THE ANSWER, THE EVIL AND CORRUPT WAY OF THINKING THAT VOLDEMORT SYMBOLISED IS
PRESENT IN THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR SOCIETY.
KILLING THE DARK LORD WON'T END THE EVIL IN OUR WORLD, I ONLY WISH I
COULD HAVE SEEN THAT SOONER, IT WAS WHAT I GAVE MY LIFE TO DO, AND IN THE END
IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER…
One thing
I don't know why
Doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised
It got so far
#~#~#~#~#
NO ONE REALLY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE MY HEAD, THE
OBSESSION THAT BURNED DEEP WITHIN MY VERY SOUL. I FEEL SO DIFFERENT NOW, LIKE I CAN FINALLY SEE THINGS CLEARLY,
I'M NO HERO, THE ONES WHO DESERVE THAT PRAISE ARE THE ONES WHO WORK TO CHANGE
PEOPLES' WAY OF THINKING, I TRIED TO BE A HERO, BUT I WAS WRONG… SO VERY WRONG…
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognise me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside
and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me
Will eventually
be a memory
Of a time when…
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To loose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
#~#~#~#~#
I KNOW THAT I WILL NOT BE HERE TO SEE IT, BUT I HOPE AND
PRAY WITH MY LAST BREATH THAT THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT, PERHAPS WHAT I'VE GIVIN
MY LIFE TO ACHIEVE WILL NOT BE COMPLETELY IN VAIN, MAYBE PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND
THAT THEY NEED TO CHANGE BEFORE ANOTHER DARK LORD APPEARS, THAT PUBLIC
ATTITUDES AND THE WEAKNESSES IN OUR SOCIETY ARE WHAT NEED TO CHANGE IF WE CAN
EVER ESCAPE THE DARKNESS… I LEAVE THAT
CRUSADE TO YOU, I CAN ONLY HOPE…
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know…
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To loose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
And so ended the life of the famous Harry Potter,
#~#~#~#~#
When they found the body, Sirius and Remus barely
recognised James' son, he was so badly disfigured, but what shocked them most
was the writing… Everywhere they looked they could see the words smeared in his
own blood that Harry had left…
As a Warning?.. As
a release of emotion?.. Or just his
will… His last request.
The two men cried bitter tears as they carried the precious
body down the hill… If only they had done things differently… If only they could have been there as he'd
died, to offer assurances, some of the comfort that had been so lacking in the
young man's life…
But there were so many If Only's…
The words that Harry had written where spread around like
wildfire, everyone marvelled at what he had meant.
Celebrations at the destruction of the dark lord seemed
obscene, and everyone agreed that it would be a better tribute to Harry's life
if they took his words to heart…
Two weeks after the funeral, which at the request of those
close to him had been a small and private affair, Minister Fudge was kicked out
of office and replaced by young Percy Weasley.
He would in time become one of the greatest ministers ever known,
remembered best for his famous pledge…
'WE WILL CHANGE THE WAYS OF THE WIZARDING WORLD IN THE DAWN
OF A NEW ERA SO THAT WE MIGHT ALL BE WORTHY OF THE SECOND CHANCE WE'VE BEEN
GIVEN'

Thanks to anyone who's
bothered to read all of this! I just
love Linkin Park soooo much, they're one of my favourite bands!
I was obsessed by the idea that Harry would become so
desperate to kill Voldemort that he'd become obsessed and that the only way it
could be done would be at the expense of his life… depressing I know!
Anyways, always interested to hear what you think…
Love
Jona
