Black

Black.

That's all they can think back

To when they hear my name.

As always, it's the same.

I'm different as can be,

It doesn't take much to see

That I am an individual.

I'm original.

There's no copies,

So let me be me.

As far as your concern,

You've got a lot to learn

Before you feel the need to judge.

I hope your opinion plans to budge.

I'm always one to rebel,

But I don't stoop to their level

By using discrimination

Against those filled with no anticipation

Of being my friend.

It's not the end.

I prefer school to home

Because there, I'm not alone.

With my

Courage and pride,

I take it in stride;

My abilities,

My enemies,

My charm,

I mean no harm.

Breaking the rules is what I live for,

But there's always something more.

Moony, Wormtail, and Prongs

Is the family of which I belong.

I have ambitions, that is true,

But it doesn't tell me what to do.

With Slytherin, I'll always hate

Those grimy, lying, cheating snakes.

Ravenclaws are know-it-alls.

It doesn't help with their downfalls.

Hufflepuffs really aren't that bad, you see,

But it is most definitely not the house for me.

Gryffindor is where I reside;

With my noble courage deep inside.

It surely outshines the rest;

Of my traits that I detest.

My family tree is no laughing matter,

I really hope it continues to tatter.

Scorched faces, from their own.

It was their fault they were disowned.

I plan to be next,

It's my biggest challenge yet.

Rebellions will come back to back

To defy the ancient and noble house of Black.
