I kill,
So others may live
Driven by the images of my dead, deceased, family
What I do is not vengeance, but for hope
That one day, when I die, there will be no more monsters.
Who am I?
I am a monster hunter.
I hunt like the prey I seek
The Predators of humans
The hunters have became the hunted
My job, my life, demands, not rest, but persistence, determination
The innocent should have protection
Although, my body is like live-wire during the hunt
It is also dying
I cannot live forever
Like that of the Vampire
My soul shall soar to the Heavens
As my decaying, crumpling, body rests, finally, at peace
And I will know that I had slain the evil beings.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
