Disclaimer: Blah. You get the idea. *grins* Actually, I own everything in
this poem, because there isn't a single word that has to do with the Harry
Potter world. I try to do that with all of my poems.

A/N: Okay. This poem can be taken two different ways, I think. It could
either be compared to Harry Potter...the obvious choice, or, it could be
compared to Severus Snape. If you don't believe me, then think about each
character as you read it. I have come to believe that there is
something...not right about Severus. I think there is something he is
hiding, and that we'll find out in one of the later books. I hope. I am so
curious about it.

Please read and review!

The Secret

The child is holding a dark secret
Far within himself
Not even he knows it is there
The secret must be found,
Unlocked from its deep hiding place
The Child does not know

The secret will tear
It will burn and devour
The child cannot stop it
Another must find the secret
And release it from its bonds
The child does not know

of the child
Once revealed, the secret
Will do no good for the child
He will be forced to face
His utmost fear
The child does not know

So what exactly is this secret?
Is it some horror from his past?
Or perhaps a trial yet to come
Did someone seal the secret inside him,
Knowing the child would suffer?
The child does not know

Should he find out?
