Words I may write that come and go,
But to shield myself from jurisdiction,
I will tell you what I know:
There's a reason it's called fan fiction.
Author's Note:
Sorrow and pain, worry and guilt,
We find these in the walls we have built
I'm not claiming these for myself,
Just telling you how Remus must have felt.
(Now, I'm not trying to pressure you,
But when you're done with this poem- review!)
Letting Go
I don't know what it was that made you first seem like true friends,
I don't know where the brotherhood began at friendship's end,
I didn't think your friendship was a gift; simply a loan,
And then I found, to my surprise, I wasn't all alone.
For my first ten years I didn't know what I was missing,
So when I found out suddenly I started listening,
And then I learned that life is short and far too quickly ends
To ease the passing of the time we must travel with friends.
Careful barriers I placed to block me from myself,
All those emotions I had were sitting on the shelf,
I was learning new things- you knew what I didn't know,
Sometimes we must leave ourselves because we're letting go.
Caution is a good thing, but sometime it must be done,
Because a large part of living life is having fun.
Through those years we carried on, and I had no regrets,
But the worst was yet to come- I haven't said it yet.
In quick strikes my life was torn to shreds- the threads were severed,
I could pick the pieces up, but they won't stay together,
Now it's still completely about managing my time,
But this time, my letting go is of a different kind.
