Lycanthrope
I stand in pain
And I wait for it to end.
This is not the fate
That I asked for,
This is not the fate
That I deserved.
I am innocent,
I never hurt anybody,
Not by my own accord.
I had no choice,
I wasn't in control.
How was I supposed to know
That this would happen.
When all I wanted
Was to take a breath
Away from the crowds
Of obnoxious people
So caught up in themselves
that they didn't notice me there.
I just went for a stroll,
That's all I intended to do.
But when I heard the cry
Of an animal in distress,
Well, what was I meant to do?
I didn't ask to be biten,
And I certainly
Never wanted to change.
But this is the fate
That I have been left with.
And I suppose
It is the fate I must accept.
