Vampirism

A young person

By the age of around twenty

confronted me once-

"I know you are a vampire,

And I want you to make me one.

I want to live forever,

so that I may help this world and enjoy it freely"

In Anger I hissed and leaped,

Grabbed this person by the shirt,

and warned threateningly,

"Do not speak such trash,

You don't know this life!

Everyone always sees me as some monster!

I have no choice to feed,

But I can do it harmlessly!

If I commit a crime, my bounty goes through the roof.

If a crime is committed against me,

Form nobody,

I gain assistance!

I have been run out of my home town,

And countless more,

Mothers shield their children from me,

Fathers teach their sons the art,

The art of killing me!

I've gone for so long before,

For months, starving!

Not being myself, because all towns banned me,

Or I had no chance to feed

without damned prying eyes!

Do you really want this,

How could you even know!

My whole existence is hated,

only revered, even

accepted, by some,

Its agony all around the city,

the city of immortality and rightful pleasure,

tell me, is THAT what you want?"

And the young mortal, answered firmly,

Those feeling I experience anyway,

as I am a crossdresser."

So after that,

We chatted, we talked,

About a century later,

Here she sits beside me,

Two souls wandering,

Searching for more souls

In this cold world.

Ok, so its the one topic that could get me to read the poetry forum.

a ) I am a vamp-head.

b ) it wasn't a week ago that I was writing in some thread or other and it actually dawned/occured to me that being a FtM was actually similar to being a vampire in a sense; the injecting testosterone "in order to live". And yeah, the being prudent about who you tell "what you are".

Interesting that someone else was on that idea

But Alex, you do realize it was last posted to a year ago, yes? ( ;) )

Sometimes poetry is even better when you read it a second time far removed from the first reading.

Each time I reread "Annabelle Lee" by Poe, I find something that strikes me differently than before.

Love ya,

Sally

I agree.

And Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorites :D Especially "The Tell Tale Heart." (which my 7 year old nephew just read to me today) and "The Raven" :D

Oh my...That was wonderful!

I surely don't remember it from a year ago, but, maybe I read it back then and forgot it...

I enjoyed reading it this time...

Very nice. I enjoyed it. It also made me think of a fairly recent post on facebook where my fraternity "pledge son" said that in school, he always thought I was a vampire. Laughing, I wish I could have told him, "You were close; I am actually a woman in a man's body!".

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.
