The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Crawling in darkness

searching for light,

covered in mud

surrounded by night.

The weight becomes heavy

the boulders piled high,

my bones tremble

here I lay

waiting only to die.

Thinking, hoping, fading,

the world may have won

in this water I'm barely wading.

When will it ever be done?

A heckle, a cackle, a chuckle,

I hear you......

I smile to myself

where they cannot see,

Not today

I will not buckle.

Pushing up with

all my might,

boulders shatter to pieces

right in front

of their eyes.

A snarl, a growl, HATRED!

They'll not rest

until I'm dead.

Some days I'm dying inside,

but I'll never let them see,

a smile is all I give

before I spit in their face.

Today I break my shackles

Today I am free.

Drop the baggage

drop the pain

break the chains of tyranny!

One more time

I watch them walk away,

"we'll be back

to torment you"

I faintly heard them say

come back....

this time I'll be ready.

Darkness blankets the sky.

Footsteps come closer

I grab my chains tighter,

closer, closer....

One sharp swing

wrap them in their own misery.

With one glance back,

"remember I've always

been a fighter"
