I'm a horror fanatic
Because if I can outrun the shadows of dusk
Maybe I can run away from the possibilities
That tear at my slowly dying dreams.
I'm a gamer
Because if I can save the world
Maybe I can save myself
I'm a reader
Because powerful emotion
Is a drug that heightens
Rather than dulls the taste of life
I'm a writer
Because it's the one dealer
That feels good about what he's selling
I'm a fantastic lover
Because someone once told me I was worthy of hate
And it's the one way I know
To make him a liar
I'm a great make-lover
Because the height of satisfaction
Lies in another's perfect joy
I'm a healer
Because I've been a hurter
I'm a fighter
Because a healer has to be.
