The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I don't always want to be this girl

The bumps and bruises should fade with time

But all of you keep adding more



I can't even recognize myself

Who's face is in the mirror

She's sad and scared

She's unprepared

And I don't think I like her



It shouldn't have to be this way

But every time I catch a break

She tries to guilt me out of being free



Beseeching me to hand her all

And leave nothing to call my own

Says It's wrong to leave

Tells me I'm despicable

Why should I long to spread my wings

When I could stay shackled at home



She claims she gave me everything

And I nothing in return

That if I leave they'll all be doomed



But I look back at what this is

At what this always was

I see the truth

There are no strings or chains or lines

Connecting me to her

Behind me It's dark and shadowed

With only one voice still calling out

And even that one dulled



It's no longer enough to keep me here

And although I know I'll feel wrong

I know I'd better spread my wings

Before she rips them off
