Transformation

                                          I stand here alone

                                          Waiting for my time to come.

                                          Surroundings disappear

                                                        Into the darkness.

                                          I am captivated by the shadows

                                                    On the wall.

                                          They crawl to the one

                                                     They know that will save them.

                                          It is I who knows their secrets.

                                          Faster and closer, they surround me.

                                          Inch by inch.  Closer and closer.

                                          They seep into my skin   

                                 And fill me with their powers.

                                          They are one with me.

                                          I am dangerous

                                          I am powerful.

                                          My blood begins to boil.

                                          My hands begin to shake.

                                          I am transforming.   

                                          My skin breaks loose

                                                    And the shadows pop through.

                                          I have become one of them now.

                                          My skin is scaly.

                                          My eyes are yellow.

                                          My voice is nothing but

                                                    The sounds of Death.

                                          I am at peace with myself

And the world.
