Help Me
Help me.
I wish I could explain the things that I see.
Camouflaging with the shadows in the day,
Disfigured faces come out at night to play.
Help me.
My friend is all they want to be.
They promise to take me to a better place.
No one will judge me in the dark maze.
Help me, they say.
A good soul wants to be freed.
Lest you are the host and they will breed.
Help me.
It’s that time of the night.
I see a girl like me with the same fright.
The identical looks with a chin so bright.
On her neck, there is a mark of bite.
The only difference is the mark,
That is visible only in the dark.
If you see her in light,
A mistake of identity you might make.
She is normal; like you and me.
She needs you to listen to her screams.
Help her, she is in need.
It can be you, your friend or me indeed.
