So Much Better

All the abuse I withstand,

I stayed patient, and

Hoped I would find a friend.

One who would respect my mind,

But none did I find

Who would become my friend.

And the whole school mocks me all the time,

thinking I don’t know.

I hold my head high,

Not letting my pain show.

But now!

I’ve put my name up on that list!

Will someone care that I exist?

Was this a mistake?

No, I will not forsake

The Army of Dumbledore!

Oh!

Yes that is my name in black and white,

I’ll finally learn to fight

Wow! I feel so much better

Than before!

Harry!

Don’t worry about the rest.

Do not be depressed

If some don’t believe you.

I want to learn from you

And promise I’ll never leave you

I believe Lord Voldemort returned

On that awful summer night.

Time to fight the Dark

With magic of Light!

That’s right!

Signing my name onto that list

I was so happy to enlist!

Folks say I’m dumb

But I think that some

Of their judgment is poor

I’ll work hard learning to fight

I will practice every night

Bye Harry!

I feel so much joy

Ready to enjoy

Such jo-o-o-o-o-oy

Having friends like never before!

Maybe I’m not popular,

I don’t need that to go far!

Maybe folks will change their mind

And stop being so unkind,

Stealing, hiding all my things.

I’m ready to spread my wings!

Being part of the DA,

I won’t be the Dark Lord’s prey!

With the others on that list

Umbridge somehow we’ll resist!

Harry’ll teach us well,

I’ll master every spell,

I’ve something to fight for!

Can’t wait!

The DA is quite a sight.

We’ll be fighting for what’s right!

I feel so much better…

I'll be there Wednesday, eight o'clock,

Prove I’m not someone to mock!

No, no, I can’t wait!

Be there quarter to eight,

As long as I find the door!

Oh! Oh!

I'll even dress in bronze and blue!

Let the Ravenclaw shine through!

Making friends! I’m making friends!

I have friends!

And soon I won’t be so alone!

I am so much better,

I am so much better,

I am so much better than before!
