Here are two poems inspired by vampires, but not only relavent to them. Dedicated to Erik.
Complex Explination:


Dependant, trying to stand alone
Broken, trying to make amends
Honorable, but I will lie
tell more to strangers, and hide from my friends.

Lost, but I know the way
Humble, but I am the best
I have questions, but also my pride
memory fails me, so I don't know the rest.

Responcible, yet I waste time
Funny, yet I cannot joke
I have deep hungers, but nothing reaches me
beat me bloody, I'll  just give a poke.

Thirsty for knowledge, but I stand still
Full of hope, but also of fear
I have a need to understand, but live in denial
human nature follows me, stop it screaming in my ear.

In reality, trying to escape
Organized, trying to find chaos
I have instincts, but I ignore them
these things are all in me, growing slowly yellow moss.

The Great Adventure:


Reality is a hurricane
it bends you or breaks you
sometimes you rebuild your house
or you lose everything.

Reality is a crucible
turning you from coal to diamond
you are tossed in a storm
and the sky is clearer by the end.

Reality is for learning
it's full of twists and turns
you meander down the dark alleys
or glide along sunny highways.

Reality is an exam
you don't want to take it
but you have no choice
and you feel relief at the end.

Reality is a wonder
the thrill of discovery in your veins
awaking that brand new idea
searching and finding a silver lining.

Reality is an experience
some are buffeted for decades
a few have short, instinctual lives
for all it's different and the same.

Reality is many things, and we all know
it's a changing, painful teacher
mandatory, beautiful and in us all
but to put it plainly, reality is.
