Men in the Lake

I threw the stone

Ripples appeared

A small one I had thrown

What happened next was weird

It was during the dark of night

A human climbed out of the lake

My face must have gone white

Going there had been a mistake

The look in his eyes

Showed a dark side

Staying would be unwise

I needed a place to hide

There was no cover

I had nowhere to go

I he would discover

He had become my foe

He was fast

Unnaturally so

But I in contrast

I was slow

Just he was bad

But then came more

But my resolve was ironclad

And I let out a roar

I was outnumbered

Of that I was sure

I then knew my minutes were numbered

But I had to endure

I could fight no longer

And had to give in

For they were much stronger

I knew I could not win

I thought I would die

But I was wrong

For they were sly

Among humans they didn't belong

They were not like us

I was the odd one out

They did not discuss

As I let out a shout

They pulled me in

One of them bit me

I then knew I could not win

There was no way to get free

I woke up 5 hours later

I was no longer the same

I had a new creator

That I could claim

They taught me

I learned their ways

To this I did agree

I was in a daze

I became like them

I was no longer human

I became their new gem

I was the newest inhuman

But not for long

For their was a man at the lake

He was not strong

An inhuman we did make

This was my new life

It was forced on me

At that lake there is strife

So this I plea

Stay away

From that cursed lake
