Werebetween

UNDERLIE

In the cemetary 
Rest the weak and weary;
Quiet in their repose 
We the living suppose. 

Night after night deterred 
When life is what's preferred. 
Stuffed in a boxed holder 
No room to turn over. 

Life unconventional 
Live institutional. 
In crypt or grave shrouded 
Conditions are crowded. 

UNTIL 

Comes the one night a year 
The one that mortals fear. 
It takes their lives beyond 
Material respond. 

Into the nether world 
Where locks turn white and curled.
Then fright stretches each hair - 
Welcome to your new lair. 

HERE 

If you survive training 
Your life that's remaining 
Will get to pick and choose 
Who or what you'll infuse.

Be what you want to be 
The style that sets you free.
A ghostly werebetween 
Living for Halloween. 

HELLO 

Freddy, Edward, Chuckie, Dracula, ...

Digital beams 
Encrypted means 
Dimention's depth 
By a hair's breadth. 

Time passes on 
Laid out - not gone 
One of our own 
OOPS!
He's not alone!
