"But…I Am a Monster"—Edward's Lament by Emachinescat
A Twilight Fan-Fiction
SUMMARY: Edward IS a monster. He has to be. If he isn't, then what does he have to live for? This is a humor poem showing the deep, internal struggle in Edward's mind as he tries to justify his sparkles and convince himself that he is a monster.
A/N: This is a poem poking fun at the Twilight series because of the way the vampires are portrayed. If you are a hardcore Twi-hard and will be offended by it, just don't read it because flames aren't very nice. I like the Twilight books to a certain degree so I'm not all-out bashing them either. It's just a bit of fun, so enjoy, and if you have something nice or constructive to say, please let me know what you think. :)
"But…I Am a Monster"—Edward's Lament
I am a monster.
I am terrifying.
My mere presence leaves people trembling. All
No, not in laughter!
In fear.
Right?
I am a monster.
I can kill swiftly.
I am cunning.
I have eyes sharper than a sword.
A lust for blood.
Mortals tremble in my presence.
Any who dares to oppose me
Will rue the day
When they said I cannot be a monster.
I am a monster.
Vampires are monsters.
Look at Count Dracula,
He is a legend,
Everyone is scared of him.
As they should be with me.
So why do they mock me?
I have no fangs,
But does that mean I have no feelings?
Does it mean I cannot rip you apart
For belittling my self-esteem?
Sunlight is not fatal,
But surely glittering like a thousand suns
Is more appealing than a painful death?
It is not girly, I am not a fairy.
I am Edward Cullen.
Fear my name…
Fear my presence.
Do not scoff because I know who I am.
I keep repeating
I am a monster,
I am a monster.
The silent mantra gets me through the ages.
For if I am not a monster,
Then what am I?
A laughing stock?
A pixie, a pansy?
I am a real vampire!
I am a real monster!
I am…I am…
I am…right?
