Story Notes:
This is a poem, written about my favorite character in all of Potterverse, Albus Severus Potter. I want to thank the amazing Jess, ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor, for her help with sorting this out. (I had no idea what it was until I had finished it)

Also, I don't own anything you recognize. J.K. Rowling probably does, though.

Chapter Notes: A. I don't own Harry Potter.

B. Many, many thanks to Jess (ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor) and Lily for their amazing help with sorting this poem out. I wouldn't have posted it without their help figuring out exactly what I meant to say. So . . thanks!

C. I don't have a c. Enjoy!

Drowning

It's surrounding me;
Suffocating,
Strangling,
Taking away my very breath.

Mr. Potter, your son was possessed

Agonizing;
I know no future,
No past --
just Pain.

It drove him insane;

Worse than any curse,
Burning hotter than a thousand fires;
The pain has overtaken me,
It's swallowed me whole.

Eventually, he drowned in it.

I drown in the pain.
It's holding me under,
I can't breathe.
I fight and struggle,
but there is nothing to fight for.

He drowned in his own insanity.
I can tell you this, though:

No one's left;
It's just me.
But still I fight
In anger and fear.

He fought it
With every fiber of his being

Everything is blurring,
I'm losing.
I struggle harder,
feeling the weight pushing me farther.
The end is near,
but still I fight.

It was too strong,
Even for someone like you,
I suspect

You haven't died in vain.

You should be proud, Mr. Potter.

Chapter Endnotes: In case it was unclear, this is about Albus Severus. He is definitely my favorite character EVER, (though James Sirius is up there) and I hope you liked it. :)
