I Cannot Wait

I've come to learn that things aren't simple,
Life can be so hard sometimes, so unfair.
I never would have imagined two worlds,
So different from one another, coinciding.

I find though that my past still comes,
It haunts me through dreams and memories.
It shares the space of current events unfolding,
Creating a frightening connection to the past.

So far, I've seen a man's life be taken from him,
I've seen a boy's father mourn over his son;
I've lost a great mentor, even my God-Father,
In addition to my parents...I am very frightened.

However, I know what I must do, and be brave,
I must conquer and defeat the great Dark Lord.
I know what it is I'm looking for, horcruxes,
Which will kill off the remaining parts of his soul.

Once that is done, there will be no more fear,
The world will be able to rest at ease, breathe.
I may not get back all those lost to me, but,
I will not lose anymore of those close to me.
