All is quiet

Not a sound

I stand here holding it

The thing that I will use to free myself

A stake

I placed it against my heart

Tempting myself to push it in

Through my heart

I wonder what it will be like

Starting again

Not to be a vampire

I thought about what would happen

Maybe I would see what everyone one thought of me

The stake was hurting against my skin

I pulled it away

I had one shot at ending everything

I held it as far away as possible

I pulled it back quickly and…

…I missed
