I shift in my sleeping place,
feeling a draft...
It's before 7,
who could it be?
Why would any fool,
come here and bother me?!
I'll rip out his throat!
I'll eat his heart!
A man needs his rest,
especially after working
through long nights
and tolerating bar fights,
i think i've damn well earned it!
So who would dare come?
Who would spoil my sleep,
and ruin tonight's fun?
In my dreaded half awake state
i can see the wooden stake
Come on! Give me a break!
That would kill anyone!
Drag me out in the sun!
Let's see if you mythology
actually teaches the truth
about certain guys like me!
I roll to the left
and my coffin falls
crushing his feet
whilst i rip off his balls!
All i wanted was rest,
and some horses ass
who thinks the living are best
wants to come here and kill me?!
What about the winos
who i have removed?
The drug dealers you hate
that i got rid of for you?
Do i not deserve some
little modicum of respect?
For killing of the evil ones
before they can infect?
Don't think i want to hurt
anyone really, not even a fly
but i need blood, bud
or i'll shrivel up and die!
So look who's the monster
before you try to judge me
because i'm the one alone,
stuck living for eternity!
Author notes
Just a simple broken verse one, hoping to show how it'd feel to be a Vampire, and have some asshole crusader busting in to hurt you!

Very good.
Sounds a bit like Dexter the serial Killer, serial Killer with teeth.

HAHAHAHA...this is funny! I like. such precise imagery, I love how you give the Vampire more "humanity" than most humans have...excellent write! Thanks for sharing,
Luck. -
*sniffle* Makes me heartily ashamed for cheering on the gory scenes of Vampyr annihilation. Honestly, I was cheering the buckets of fake blood and snarling Counts as they crumbled to dust. Kewl special effects!
I thoroughly enjoyed your unique perspective and I have a very long list of ne'er do wells without whom the world would be a far better place! (If you know any undead to pass it on to
)
Enjoy the quirky flow of broken rhyme, keeps the reader interested and slightly off kilter! Bravo!

Pure joy!
A nice dark, demented poem with an interesting perspective thanks for your entry. What I really like was the self righteousness of your vampire. Thank you for the read.
