A/N: Inspiration strikes again! This is a poem describing how Harry would feel just after fifth year.
Lately I've Been Keeping Secrets
Lately I've been keeping secrets
Though I'm not sure why
I tell them I'm just fine
But I know that it's a lie
My true feelings stay hidden
I hide behind a mask
To my friends I'm still the same
They don't know it's just an act
All my letters may sound cheery
Talk of this and that
The Dursleys are behaving
And Dudley's twice as fat
I keep my summer vague
The order has no clue
I never leave my room
And dreamless nights are few
I'm still reeling from last year
There is no one to confide
Because of my foolish actions
My only parent died
I didn't try hard enough
To learn what Snape would teach
Even now I can't deny
Occlumency is beyond my reach
Voldemort finally beat me
I fell for his clever trick
I put my friends in danger
And they were hurt because of it
My thoughts are so confused
And Sirius' death isn't all
Now I carry a burden
In the form of a crystal ball
Now I know my destiny
The purpose of why I'm here
According to the prophecy
Voldemort has reason to fear
Either one must kill the other
That is what it said
To be a murderer or a victim
These thoughts run through my head
I cannot tell my friends
They wouldn't know what to say
They've never lost someone
They've never felt this way
No one can understand
What it's like to know your fate
I was never given a choice
For me it's just too late
I know what I must do
And Voldemort will pay
But in order to keep them safe
I must push my friends away
Lately I've been keeping secrets
Telling you those lies
Someday I hope you'll understand
But for now I can't say why.
