The Time Has Come for the Truth
Chapter One
Take Away My Pain
Disclaimer: I do not own the property of HP.
Summary: Hermione Granger has been keeping a dark secret for years. This fic is mostly filled with poems . . . Which I will be writing. If you don't like stories with poems and stories that don't spend much time on the detail of it all, I recommend you to just read the poems or to not read at all.
Please Daddy dear
Just listen to me
Cut all the act
Just let me be
Let go of all the abuse
Never lie and cheat again
What you did, you can't undo
All the pain I have, stays within
Please Mommy dearest
Just listen to me
Cut all the act
Just let me be
Turn away from this house
Take away all your lies
Carry away all your pain
You've hidden inside
Let me hold onto all I need
Let me sleep with pleasant dreams
Turn me away from all the evil
Take me where angels gleam and scream
I wanna be free from all the lies
All the days I hear Mommy's cries
Wanna turn away from this house
Turn away from all the shame inside
-Me

"Hermione?"
"Uh-yeah Harry?" The pretty witch smiled at her friend.
"You're day dreaming again."
"I know."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wake up!"
"I'm coming," grumbled Hermione pushing the blankets away.
"I've been waiting ten minutes already for breakfast! Get your lazy fatass up young lady."
"I said I'm coming," she shot back putting on her slippers and closing the door.
"Yeah, you say you're coming. Huh, you're so slow. Go on already. Your mother's downstairs waiting," her father said following his daughter closely from behind.
"Shut up! Why don't you ever try and make a decent meal for a change anyhow! You're always complaining! Do you think I care!"
"That's it young lady! You need to learn how to keep your mouth shut . . ."
"Uh-oh," thought Hermione. Why did she always have to be so cranky in the mornings? Why couldn't she ever keep her mouth shut like her mother? Well in some ways, she was just like her father . . .
Her father had finished undoing his belt and went flying towards Hermione's back with it.
"I'm not done with you yet! Come back HERE!" he roared running after the girl.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" she bellowed, ducking form his attack. But Hermione wasn't so lucky, the belt just barely touched her bare back, and at the same moment she went crashing down the stairs.
"Ahh!" Hermione screamed, both from the pain and the trouble that awaited her at the bottom of the stairs.

You'll never know how it's like to be me
To live in my body and barely breathe
From all the debris kept in my life
I have to stay fit, I've got to make it right
I don't know the changes that happen everyday
For me time flies, but the pain won't go away
To smile would be exposing my secrets
All my fear and the pain, it just drives me insane
Take away my pain
All the tears that I'vd cried
Heal my wounds and the hurt
I've kept all inside
Each day is hard to get by
I have to live with the torment inside
The fear, it's killing me with all the lies
Just let me be, just let me be free
I don't wanna be the girl
Who everybody pities and feels sorry for
I don't wanna be the one
Who gets stuck committing suicide
I just wanna be the girl I am
To smile and laugh
I wanna to be happy
I wanna be happy
Take away my pain
All the tears that I've cried
Heal my wounds and the hurt
I've kept all inside
How hard is it for everyone to see
I bet millions of people just wanna be
They wanna be free
But they live with imperfections
(Just like me)
Take away my pain
All the tears that I've cried
Heal my wounds and the hurt
I've kept all inside

"Hermione!" yelled an anxious voice. "Are you alright?"
"Who said that?"
"Oh, Hermione!"
The middle-aged woman raced over to her child sprawled at the bottom of the stairs. She looked at Hermione and asked quietly. "Did your father do this?"
Hermione, too weak, just nodded her head. She felt the pain from the fall come over her head, her legs, and her back.
"I'm sorry honey, but-"
"Ellen, what have I told you?!" thundered a male voice from up over their heads. "The girl will fix our breakfast! Sit your tired ass down and let the girl be."
Hermione's father then got a glimpse of Hermione who tried to get up, with some cuts on her from the fall.
"See what you made me do!" he sneered at her. "You better wash up later cause I need my proper breakfast. NOW!" And with that his stomach growled loudly, loud enough for all to hear.
"Okay, I'm going," Hermione said standing up awkwardly. Her mother smiled awkwardly at her, shrugging, her shoulders going up and down.
Hermione didn't care, that was how her mother was, and that was how she'd always be.

When I look at your face
All I can see is the pain
Your eyes hold no warmth
To me you're insane
I can't tell if your lying
Your face is covered with a mask
To me you're not even trying
How am I supposed to react
For you days go by
They mean nothing to you
Just another day accomplished
And then maybe two
I can't remember the mom that I knew
She was younger and stronger, unlike you
She was wise and was tough
Able to beat all the boys up
Although she smiled and she'd score
While all this happened her dreams went out the door
Everything's been changing
All I ever knew of the past
It seems someone's effaced it
For me nothing will ever last
AN: Please r & r! Should I focus more on writing the story? Do you mind if I mix poetry with this. Tell me what you think.
And yeah, I didn't want to post this until later, but I've been tempted. :)
