Hey, I think this is the second ever poem I've actually published for anything. Don't go easy on me though, I write this stuff all the time (more often than I get around to writing my stories...), so if there something desperately wrong, TELL ME. I plan on eventually getting some of my poetry published in something I can get money from, so I need all the help I can get.
By the way, this is from Harry's POV talking at Draco. Not to, at. I don't even know if Draco's listening. I'll get back to you on that.
Warnings - Mild, one-sided, implied HPDM Slash
Disclaimer - I do not own the characters this poem eludes to, but I DO own the poem. If anyone trys to take it from me I won't be happy. My poetry's like a part of me, I don't want to lose it to someone else.

Perfection
I'll be Perfect when I'm through
I'll be everything you never knew…
Perfection
They say it's my middle name
Another falsehood
My claim to fame
They say I'm someone
Power, wealth, and fame
I wish I had some other name
I'd give anything
Everyone
All the things that make us who we are
Maybe then you'd see
Nobody's perfect like you call me
I'm just another guy
Like you and you and you
And all I ever do is
Go out and try to save the world
I'm just another hero
Figures
I've got everything, you say
But all I want just lingers out of reach
If I was really perfect would you see?
I'm just another guy
Or is that what you want?
Nobody's ever good enough for you
You sneer and jeer and make me want to
Throw everything you say back in your face
Is all you want Perfection?
In that case…
I'll be Perfect when I'm through
I'll show this entire human race
I'll be everything you never knew
Just in case
And all I have to do is reach Perfection
And imagine
All I ever wanted was no rejection
AndI'll be Perfect when I'm through
I'll be everything you never knew
Just
For
You
