Turning

by Selena the Moon
(California, USA)

I could feel it...
That burning sensation in my
Veins...
But I wonder
Where did it come from?
I was never bitten,
Blooded,
Or close to death.

Maybe I was born with
This curse...

I hope no one finds out
Or I'll get killed...

People hunt
What I'm turning into...
With stakes to stab my heart,
Holy water to blind me,
An ax to chop my head off so I wouldn't get revived,
Garlic to destroy my soul,
And,
Sometimes,
A blessed cross to send me to
HELL...

Right now
I'm terrified,
Angry,
And thirsty for
BLOODY...

I pray
That I don't get killed.
I value my life,
I value the lives of others,
I wish not to have this
Curse...

Eventually,
I'll become a...
VAMPIRE....
