This poem was written for the Poetry Boot Camp Challenge. Using the Werewolf prompt, I'm trying to describe Remus suffering. This is also part of the 100 prompts challenge, using Moon. Hope you like it.

Werewolf

Running from the moonlight,
that is all you have ever tried to do.
But no one can hide from the full moon,
the most powerful light of the night,
and the mother of the wolves.

And with her shining waves comes the curse,
the curse that you have feared throughout the years,
the curse that has stolen your peace and sleep,
the curse of becoming an animal.

And with a howl you're forced to greet your mother,
while feeling the malediction entering your veins.
Veins that are now burning as your disguise is taken away,
and for another night you're forced to show your true form.

The form of the beast,
the form of the monster,
the form of the half man and half wolf,
and with another howl you accept once again your true nature.
