Description
VampireA living oxymoron
An immortal
Or a corpse?
A bringer of death
Or a savior of life?
A curse
Or a blessing?
On the brink of death
And saved by a vampire’s bite
Becoming free of disease and natural death
At the prime of your life
And having it taken by a vampire
Dropped into the abnormal darkness
To be a living human
Blind to the beauty of the world
And ignorant to the problems
Or a vampire
Able to see our faults
Able to understand the true meaning of things
So which is it better to be?
Human or vampire
Always aging to a final death
Or living forever without worry
Surviving in ignorance
Or existing in understanding
A heavy price
But the rewards great
You have to ask
Is the cost of life worth it?
Most people say
That vampires don’t exist
But if you look closely around
You see them
Maybe not devilish creatures like you expect
Those hell-destined beings that find their pleasure from our veins
But dark souls, sad and desperate
Desperate for a feeling
These people you will see
And being someone like this means losing your life
Losing your soul
Losing the will to actually live
But gaining the ability to see
The ability to understand the darkness in this world
So what will it be?
Life…or death?

kool. i think this poem really asks a person to choose between life and death while looking at the pros and cons of both scenes, and not just blinded by immortality and power.

But as a human you know you've only got a few years so we try harder to fill them.

Your poem puts out a good question that common vampire lovers need to consider when they say "I'd do anything to be a vamp!"
Alot of people seem to think it's very romantic and beautiful, (which in it's own way, may be) but can't register the idea of them having to actualy KILL humans daily to survive. I don't honestly believe that many of today's humans could do it.
There's sort of an eternal depression and lonliness that accompanies vampirism, Anne Rice's Lestat character portrays this magnicificently. I think anyone who wishes to become a vampire should really read the three books of Rice's Vampire Chronicles.
Really great piece of work, by the way.

The more beauty we see though the more ugly we see as well. Yet we cherish every last ounce of wonder we see for there is so little of it left. I do not regret my decision. When the time comes will you regret yours.
By the way we are not all sad, dark and desperate.
