I was forged in the pages of books where I hid from the life I was living they called it fiction but, ****, it all felt pretty real to me I was the shadow of every character I threw myself on on rainy Monday or beautiful Saturday So I hid away in my room patiently waiting for something I might never know with a spiral bound notebook full of all the things I couldn't say out loud It all started with a dream I wanted to steal the shadows of kids just like me from NA to EU Africa, Asia, selah So I hid away in my room full of all the words from all the books I loved and I gave it a shot
