My Haunted Shadow Poem

1:24 PM |

my shadow

how it always

haunting me

won't let me

alone or have

peace.

Soon it takes

over me and

I slowly turned

into what I most

feared what I wanted

what I used to be.

A vampire.

I was enjoying

life as a teeneager

at the age of 16.

It took me years

to get used to my

dull bland body

and lack of fangs.

But at least I won't

have to haunt and

hunt down humans

as prey or food.

I could make friends

and enjoy life.

So where does

this leave me now?

I guess I'll just

suck it up and get

used to killing

people and get

back to sucking

the life out of humans.

a familar feeling

quickly returned

my never ending

thirst for blood

for human blood.

blood from

banks from

hospitals

just don't

cut it for me.

It helps but

it doesn't

make me as

strong as going

for the kill.
