Whom you speak? AM
I who you think I
Am? Am I whO

I
Would noT
Hurt a flY
Yet I hunt anD
Ride dragons in the skY
I am the monsteR
That will alwayS
Hunt thE
OtherS
I
Have beeN
Characters, mine anD
Others. I have beeN
Both a hero and villainesS
I want to bE
Loved but havE
Felt enougH
Pain.
I
Am quieT
But I woulD
Start a riot, iF
I had something to saY
Quiet by choice, buT
Don’t tell mE
To bE
Silent.
I
Love tO
Watch fictional showS
And read fictional bookS
And within those pages anD
On those screens arE
All my friendS
In thE
WorlD
CannoT
Make friendS
In real lifE
That’s dangerous. Too much.
Will choose books over peoplE
Will hide my affectioN
For those I
Like. FoR
Safety.
RuN
And hide.
From me, foR
Me. Now go. RUN!
