Burning Shadow of Life
Sitting here, in the forest, with the dim light of the sun shinning through the leaves and burning the flesh of my arm. A Vampire comes to realize how simular one's burning flesh resembles life.
The sun ever so slowly eats away at my skin, burning the flesh. But my quick recovering ability keeps trying to heal the wound in an endless struggle. The harder it tries to heal, the more the sun burns it. That represents the futile struggle of everyday life. You keep trying to hold on, but things seem to be getting worse with everything you do.
It isn't untill ones exposed flesh is hidden from the sun, can it heal again and grow strong. This represents when one finds a purpose in life, whether it be a love, the job you've always wanted, or a dream is being fulfilled. Life then gets better and seems to be at peace with one's emotional healing.
Though when one exposes their flesh into dirrect sun light that it doesn't just burn but it lights a fire, and leaves one nothing of that arm. All that is left, is a smoldering pile of burnt flesh, soon to desinigrate into ashes and blow away with the wind. This represents when one gives up on life, when theres nothing else left but death, or decay of the mind. Its when the soul goes numb, and all feeling is lost. When ones purpse is found useless. And so one becomes nothing, therefore accepts death as the one and only last escape from the pain and suffering life brings.
Its truly amazing all the simularities one can find if they just have a reason, or even the time to look.
