My Night
By: Kevin Petronis

I look up and gaze at the stars.
I see that the moon is bright and full.
I feel the Call of the Wild tugging at my soul.

I can feel the heat radiating out of my body.
My mind and thoughts go in every direction at first,
And soon afterwards, it is blood that I thirst.

I begin to shape shift from my mortal form.
My hands and fingers and body grow larger in size.
Now I see farther and clearer in my new eyes.

My knees buckle and I lose my balance.
To the ground I fall, my hair growing long.
I can feel my muscles tighten and become strong.

My eyes illuminate with bright red light,
Hands to paws, nails to claws.
I howl and growl in My Night.

I feel I change...back to a better day.
I am larger than before, my veins pumping
with immortal blood,
The urge to kill, to hunt, in my senses begin to flood.

Now in super human form, my strength is unmatched.
My teeth sharper than razors, eyes
brighter than flashlights.
I am my inner self during these precious nights.
Out into the forest I run with exceptional speed.
The smell of flesh is in the air, the sound
of movement out there.
All of my senses have been improved beyond compare.

Swiftly I run in My Night,
The frost is new and the air cold as steel.
Any presence of living beings I can instantly feel.

Now the night is mine to roam where I please.
Mortals will sleep cozy in their bed.
Not knowing that anything left outside is already dead.

There are more of us out there in the night.
Hunting, killing, running, howling under the moon.
I must make haste, My Night will be over soon.

Be weary outside in the dark and cold.
Don't go outside under the full moon's light.
You are a corpse, once I track and catch
you in My Night.

I am what you fear.
I am what you hate...
...When you're alone on those cold lonely nights
... I am your fate.
