My Human Night

I sit here staring at my hands.

The ones that once bore claws sharp beyond compare.

I look to the sky and often wish this would last longer than one night.

Mother tells me I should be proud of who I am.

But I often find that hard to do.

Still, as long as she accepts me, I guess it is not so bad.

Where I would be without her, is unknown to me.

The scars of that loss would linger much longer than any put on my skin.

Though the villagers do not understand me,

I hope they one day will.

I do not enjoy living in the seclusion forced upon us.

I wish I knew my father.

Though in a way, he is dead to me.

A great demon in his right,

But someone I have not seen.

Now I look at the full moon

And wish that it would stay.

Then maybe I could meet someone.

To find love,

That seems impossible,
