Vampires
Hi everyone! Ninetailshokage here! This is my first time submitting any of my writing anywhere (not including that time in fourth-grade when I submitted a story about the origins of mermaids to my class, that doesn't count, I was doing it for extra credit XD) So I'm a little nervous about what people's reactions will be. I do not believe I am a good writer at all, but I'd like to fix that and free writing will probably encourage me to write more often, hopefully writing more will improve my skills (I'm serious, I'm in 8th grade and I have the writing skills of a Fifth grader at times --;) Anyway I hope you like this It's a poem I wrote in Math class and English class, and I finished it at home (Although I'm not sure that it actually is a poem, It probably isn't, and there's only about one rhyme in the entire thing, I suppose that it is more of a drabble) Anyway enjoy.
In the darkness we wait, calling out the names of innocents
Luring them into the darkness
Waiting for the crimson liquid that lets us stay another night
Taking lives for our selfish wants
Our desire to go on without beating hearts
To see the world decay around us
To out last them all
Wanting it to end
Continuing only for fear of hell
Though nothing is as bad as the torture we endure
Immortality
Never resting
Never dreaming
…
Always dying
…
Every scream
Every tear
…
Every time
…
Killing to live
Living to kill …
A pointless existence
…
Falling to despair
…
Mortals living …
Loving..
Dying.
…
Never learning,
Learning the pains
Pains of living on a non-beating heart
Watching the loved leave you behind
Never being able to reach them
Join them in the bed of dirt
Decaying leaves comfort the head
Dirt blankets cover the skin
We can not join you, us the living dead
…
It is said, to us, poison is the sun
Because the sun is good
Good always triumphs
Is the darkness really so bad
Out instincts are the same
We kill murderers and shun the evils
Yet we are the ones to be despised
You kill your livestock to eat and sell
You drain their blood and consume their flesh
Discarding no remains
We kill you emptying your body of its inner life
Leaving the corpse behind for loved ones to mourn
To know what has become
But we are considered monsters for following our nature
Our need to kill what is below us
The want to prove our superiority
Ostracize us, ignore our existence
It doesn't matter
We are above your petty hate
Above the superstitions of your stereotypical world
So, what did you think, like it? Hate it? Please leave comments to tell me how to improve, again I'm new at this, and a constructive criticism is welcome, and please no flames. XD Well, ja.
