The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

How do you make people understand that you are more then just a reaction to your past? How can I ever let go of my demons, if they won't allow me to forget? The part of me that survived the horror of that time has definitely changed from who I used to be. But it did not destroy every ounce of me. I'm still here! My mind is still my own, and my heart still pumps the same blood as it always has. My soul was wounded, and yes, it causes me pain, but it's nothing that I cannot endure. They look at me with a sadness that longs for the gleam that used to shine from my eyes. But their efforts are futile. That gleam is gone. But, if they would simply look with better eyes,they would discover a fierce and raw determination that out shines the glimmer they so struggle to ressurect. I can no longer rise to the expectations of the people who love me. I can only fight to maintain the life I am living with after. I'm still me! I'm just, different.

I feel you on that one.



So many people label... and no, it doesn't have to be a common label. It can be your own unique one, but all of a sudden your name becomes a static definition of who you're supposed to be. People can't see past it and accept the changes that constantly shape the person you are and are becoming...



...perhaps they don't need to see you with eyes at all, but closing their eyes and feeling who you have become. Listening to who you are...



...or maybe that was the metaphor you created here anyway and I'm putting on the Captain Obvious cape today.... :)
