Hero: Ode to Harry
People, they see me,
But then, they don't see me at all.
What do you see?
A hero? The savior of our world?
Then you don't see me
I'm a boy….but in so many ways, I'm a man
I'm seen too much to claim the innocence of a boy.
I've done things, most only dream of….
I didn't mean to…
But I'm praised and lauded
For things, for something I did when I was too young to remember…
They look right at me and see a superhero…
But they're looking right through me
They don't really see me
I'll never be what you want me to be.
I'm no savior…
I'm no hero…
I want them to see things in me, that they've never seen before…
I want them to know, I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, I fail and I fall…
I've scraped my knees and cried
I've broken my quill before…and had to borrow one off a friend.
Let me be real
Let me be a man…
They're the ones that stay the same, not me
They can't tell me who to be
I'm sick of hearing their whispering lies
That I'll never believe.
Stop using me…
I want to belong, to truly belong…
So you see,
I'm no hero…
AN: YEA, another poem. This time it is for Harry gwomps Harry I plan for more of these to pop up soon. Especially a poem between Harry and Voldemort. Actually a poem mixed with story.
