The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Masochistic by nature,

Though hidden from sight

Beauty blinded by wrongs,

That were never made right



On a stage so it seems,

To perform on cue

To fulfill all your fans,

Never pleasing to you



Pushed and prodded along,

Made to feel insecure

Never knowing you're rare,

Simple and pure



As you twist and you turn,

Just to blend in and fade

Continually yearning,

For a place in the shade



Unaware that your radiance,

The source of your light

Cannot be traded,

For the darkness of night



So you struggle to hide,

Never heeding your call

While convincing yourself,

You're unworthy of all



But it's not black and white,

So much gray mixed within

You see and you know,

But it never sinks in



You grow and you change,

Letting life take its course

As you try to adapt,

Filled with so much remorse



Laying burdens aside,

Finding joy in their place

Rediscovering yourself,

Finally resting your case



Embracing the brilliance,

Encompassing you

Acknowledging finally,

All you can do



I can see who you are,

Where you've been, what you've done

How you constantly,

Fight the temptation to run



To a place far away,

Free from judgement and pain

Where you finally feel,

Both accepted and sane



Where the mirror reflects,

Beauty inside and out

Absent of tension,

Worry and doubt



Allowed to shine brightly,

For the whole world to see

No distractions, no hatred

No more misery

You've got guts coming here,

And asserting your claims

That you know who I am,

And you're not playing games



To presume that I loved you,

Is your first mistake

To assume I was saddened,

When I watched your heart break



I was betrayed from the first,

But I never forgot

I just bided my time,

Til I had a clear shot.



Now the sadness and tears,

That appear on your face

Fill my heart with such joy,

I should feel some disgrace.



I'm not prone to anger,

But destructive at times

You have only begun,

To pay for your crimes.



So scream if you must,

Plead your case as you cry

You might as well say your peace,

And prepare for goodbye



And years from now,

In the dark, lonely night

When you try to forget me,

With all of your might



Rest assured you're replaced,

Inconsequential at best

May your heart ache forever,

And your soul find no rest

Let it never be said we have failed to try,

Afraid of the ground far below

Let us boldly, defiantly pursue what we seek,

As the passion continues to grow.



For the naysayer's only an example for those,

Whose mediocrity knows no bounds

Free of accomplishment, wrapped up in fear,

A stranger to congratulatory sounds.



Full of promise, potential and a passion so true,

To deny it would be our demise

As we search and we fight and we cling to our dreams,

Gaining strength with each one of our tries



Never knowing how long it will take to succeed,

Yet assured from within that we must

Resisting the doubts that lay claim to our souls,

'Til our body's returned to the dust



When, at last, we have reached that summit it seems,

Looking out at the world so clear

And assured by more than our hopes and our dreams,

That finally, we've nothing to fear

Thank you for the kind words. The credit, however must go to a friend. I might have written the words and made it rhyme lol, but they were definitely the inspiration :)

Alphabetically here I shall tell you a tale,

But it surely shall come with a price

Cataclysmic in nature, with a dash of redemption,

Devised to engage and entice



Every cell that once burned with a fire so true,

Fit to rule and to never recede

Given over for riches and words made of gold,

Having succumbed to the nature of greed.



In this tale was a man who had nothing to fear,

Just the right mix of talent and skills

Knowing just what to say in that moment of fate,

Lusting only for that which he wills



Monumentally hopeful success was in sight,

Never stopping to think of the cost

Overjoyed at the prospect of having it all,

Proof there is nothing that cannot be lost.



Questioning daily the choices he made,

Reprehensible some even say

Stuck in a cycle so filled with regret

Truly grateful for every day



Uselessly pondering what might have been,

Villifying himself for the crime

Wondering how he has managed to cope

Xanadu now lost in time



Your life is your own, so go forth not in fear,

Zestfully living and holding it dear.

I haven't been myself my dear,

Perhaps you know this tale.

The illusions and the rhetoric,

Lie just beyond the veil.



To see is to know,

Which requires we act.

To pretend is to hide,

Though our pride is intact.



Bid adieu to the silence,

As it deafens and swells.

Suffocating all reason,

In this personal hell.



To embrace truthful deception,

Both cunning and wise.

Leaves a mystery capable,

Of delivering demise.



Yet I offer up honesty,

In a last ditch attempt.

To start something real,

That's devoid of contempt.



Though, it seems that these words,

Which are bold and sincere

Make it harder to reach you,

Is it doubt or just fear?



Can one catch another,

With truth as their net?

Or must the hunter stay hidden,

So a trap can be set?



Like the warrior who's laid,

Sword and shield on the ground

In an effort to prove,

There's no danger around.



No horse full of men,

Waiting outside your gate

No designs of a coup,

That would alter your fate



Just the premise that sometimes,

On a quite average day

You catch a glimpse of a person,

In just such a way



You see past all the bullshit,

For a second or two

And what you've glimpsed is enough,

To see how much they're like you



No risk, no reward,

Isn't that what they say?

Or you could just ignore it,

Cuz it's easier that way.



And just so this ends up,

making no sense at all

Kathy Bates say the Devil's,

In that there Foozball :)
