Shadows fill my eyes

Hurt and confusion rein

Darkness clouds my soul

My spirit's light dimmed

Agony fills my body

As bones crack and break

Muscles shift and move

My heart clenches

But the pain shifts to pleasure

A pleasing release

Skin ripples and moves

To accommodate new textures

Arms lengthen and legs shorten

Fingertips curve and elongate

Claws burst forth

As fur comes in waves

No sound once registered

Now bursts from my throat

A midnight song

Filled with promise

Light fills my soul

As wings are lent to my feet

I run for the pure joy of it

I howl for the freedom
