We've been dreaming, but who can deny it's the best way of living between the truth and the lies?- See Who I am by Within Temptation.

I am a poet
I string together syllables and rhymes
To make a maze
So long and deceiving
You get lost and can never find
The original meaning

I am a storyteller
I weave characters and plots
Like threads
Into my net of lies
Building something so incredible
You can't help but think it's true.

I am a writer
Mixing parts of speech together
To create a menu
Full of word choice
So delectable and tantalizing
You drown in it.

This came to me last night at like...11 and I had to write each part down on a different sticky note so I wouldn't forget it.

I really like this one.
