COMPETITION PROMPT

All the world's a stage.

Write a poem with this as a theme.

They Told Me

I entered this world much like every living thing

I cried unapologetically, not really wanting to sing

I grew up desiring the basic human needs

It was never my intention to plant any seeds


They told me “All the Worlds a Stage”

So do what you can to engage


As I grew older I began to desire another need

It was always my intention to quench my feed

I began to partake on what was available to me

No one ever said It was an actual guarantee


They told me “All the Worlds a Stage”

So do what you can to stay out of the cage


I followed their rules and remained unknown

I knew this life would be lived alone

I traveled to many lands far and wide

All the while leaving many lives to hide


They told me “All the Worlds a Stage”

So do what you can to hide your age


I played every part and every human I could

The world was my stage where ever I stood

I was everything from a Doctor to a mechanic

I only fed on those I was told to, without causing a panic


“All the Worlds a Stage” is all I ever heard

And what I’m about to tell you might sound a little absurd


Not every person you meet is living

There’s the special kind that are unforgiving

We truly are a rare kind of breed

Especially when it comes to me wanting to feed


I like to tell my victims this right before everything transpires

“All the Worlds a Stage” for us vampires
