About a Boy

One day, I decided to change.

My soul craved too much and did I.

So,
Starving and sad,
Confused, cruel, and mad,
I said the words to change my ways

Then, right then, not later nor earlier
I decided I'd have to say
"My brother," I'd say, "I'm confused and astray."
Crying all through all of the typing.
"Please forgive me my wrongs, I didn't mean a word I say."
Lying. Lying straight through my teeth.
"This is not what I want for us. We shouldn't be this way."
What a horrible, damning lie.
"Forgive me."
Or, don't.
"I am a furry."
The words that began reacting.
"I am a vampire puppy."
Only for you, my friends and family..

..

So now its all over. I've been evolved and enamored.
Xinithium the Vampire Puppy.
Shedding the cloak
That holds the furs around me
I find a friend. A friend, true and true.
A fox, true to the heart.

...

Closer now. Just a bit closer.
Now through the Fox's mask I can see.
I can see the Face. The awesome, caring face.
Of the human hid behind it.

....

Giggling, and Laughing.
Giddy, giggling, and gay.
This is what you do to me.
You know it, and you don't care.
Now, what is the way?

.....

Today I have realized
Life isn't all that bad.
I can be a friend. I can act out and act alive.
I can be anything I want. Life is actually good.
Who knew, that so much could change
Just from a mistake...?
From a choice...?
Who knew?

......


I am me. Nobody else.
I can be outgoing and fun.
I don't have to be shy, self-interested, and withdrawn..
Who knew...?

.......

I didn't.

....I didn't.

This was the day that things were good. The first good day I had had for a very, very long time seemed to be a breath of fresh air.
I wrote this about my brother, Chot, and my close friend, Enik--both helped me turn my life around.

It was only temporary, though...
