You are seen as weird
People often call you "Loony"
But they couldn't be more wrong
Yes, you are indeed different
But then, every individual is unique
And I like you as you are
With all your pros and cons
Yes, you may believe in things
Which do not really exist
But then, who doesn't?
What truly matters
Is the fact that you are a beautiful human being
With a heart of gold
Who doesn't judge anyone
Sees people as they are
Doesn't shy away from speaking uncomfortable truths
Is modest to a fault
And last but not the least
Values friendship above everything else
You know, I can relate to you
I am also different
And got bullied for that
Just as you did
However, your mental strength is remarkable
After losing your mother at a very young age
That too due to a freak accident
You have shown the courage and fortitude
Not to mention, resilience and tenacity
To carry on with your life
Do your best to excel at magic
Display the natural curiosity and aptitude for learning
Which is expected of every Ravenclaw
Develop and sustain friendships
And finally, put your life on the line
In order to try and make the world a better place for all
You are not only a true Ravenclaw
But also possess the courage, nerve and daring of a Gryffindor
And the loyalty and sense of justice of a Hufflepuff
You only lack the cunning and ambition of a Slytherin
Not to mention, you were kidnapped and held hostage by Death Eaters
That too for a few months
And somehow emerged almost unscathed
After such a traumatic experience
You really are an incredible witch
Please remain the way you are
No matter what people say
And I will be a fan of yours
Until, as Neville would say, "Hell freezes over"
One of my favourite Harry Potter characters
Elijah Almond May 2014
some people's brains are
where knowledge goes to die
a simple prisoner
who only is allowed for speaking lies

I could tell you the truth
you might not like what your hear
seems hardly my fault
your lies you hold so dear

I don't have time
to play the silly games
lying just wastes
all my energy

you don't have to like me
I'm not too crazy about you
just being honest
I'm weird and so are you
I like Harry Potter, what can I say... I wish more people were like Luna. Just call it like they see it. No hesitation. No fear.

It’s 3:30 Am and it’s rush hour in my head.

1- I’m constantly being swallowed into my own existence like an ever-looping wormhole.

2- I am trying to expand, to encounter all energy and matter with space, grace, and sincerity.. And so I am constantly bursting, going through massive explosions and extreme intensity

.3- I am trying to radiate warmth, peace, beauty, light, and love.

4- I am trying to become one with myself, and with the Uni-verse.

5- The last four sentences started with the word “I”.. HOW SELF CENTERED CAN A PERSON BE!

6- The last three “I"s were followed by "am trying”.. cut yourself some slack, Nesma.

7- Nesma means breeze in Arabic, and someone once said “surround yourself with breezy souls in hot summers”.

8- Nesma starts with Noon, and Noon stands for infinity in my subconsciousness.

9- The uni-verse is infinite. It’s vast and supreme. It must be blue, blue is the warmest color.

10- My favorite Harry Potter character is Luna Lovegood. I have deeply fallen in love with Luna Lovegood… luna love good..

11- Luna is the same Latin root for the two words “the moon”, and “craziness”. The moon has always been associated with insanity, and for that, perhaps, it’s also associated with love.

12- God I LOVE the uni-verse.

13- “I did not fall in love with you, I fell in you with love”
What am I even doing
