I am a vampire

I can look in the mirror and nothing stares back at me

For I am a vampire and they have no reflection

I am a vampire

I am used to the sight of blood

Though not blood that takes a life but allows for other life to be created

I am a vampire

I crave the dark

My curtains don’t open and I don’t go outside

I am a vampire

Society fears me

With their beliefs and ideologies

That they refuse to adapt as time changes

I am a vampire

But vampires aren’t real

Yet boys are real

But I am not a real boy
