Petunia Dursleys: I Was Never Good Enough

I was never pretty enough,

No matter what I did.

It was always,

'Lily this'

'Lily that.'

I hated her,

I still do.

What's so great

About waving a wand?

And getting everything your heart desired.

The man of my dreams,

The great school,

Good grades,

Great looks.

She took it all.

Everything I ever wanted.

What was I suppose to feel?

I'll admit it,

I was glad when she died.

Finally, no more living in her shadow,

No more pretending I didn't care.

They say I'm a horrible person.

Because I don't love her son.

How can I?

He's just like his mother.

Just as lucky,

Just as smart,

Just as good looking,

Just what I want to be.

Well,

It's not like anyone cares,

Why

I do the things I do.

Do they just think I'm mean?

Snobby?

Cold hearted?

Do they ever stop to wonder,

Is there a reason why she is

The way she is?

I don't think so.

Because

No one has ever asked why.
