The sun has burned my skin,
Yet I get no tan.
The day, though inviting, tires my brain.
And I'm no woman of religion,
Or a fan of the scent of garlic,
Or a fan of my reflection.
My nocturnalness is laughable, though
It is seen.

My friends have deemed me a vampire,
A blood-sucker culled in a coffin,
A stake-fearing, human-eating monster.
Sometimes I wonder if that's true.

If it was, why am I unaware?
A monster so powerful,
Yet I am weakened by forgetfulness.
But I will not fall into the vampiric ways.
Not so long as I stand here human,
​​​​​​​Making joke with my friends.
