I love words. I want to eat them. Devour them. Binge on them and hoard each delicious morsel. I will sneak them and steal them. Find them abandoned in ordinary places and take them in.

I want to live these words, these stories. Fly on the wings of dragons. Be the dragon. I want to absorb the words and feel them. Break my heart, shatter it. Slowly sink into loneliness and despair. Find hope and embrace her. I want to fall in love a million times, a million different ways.

I want to be, if only temporarily, a million different people. I am a princess. I am a knight. I am a super hero swooping in wingless flight. I am a phoenix exploding from my ashes. I am a general directing spaceship clashes.

Feel my fury, feel my compassion, feel these feelings I can't action. Until it is tim,e once again, to be regular everyday me.
