This is who I am,
I am shy,
yet outspoken.
I am normal,
yet unique.
This is who I am,
I am naive,
yet wise.
I want to express myself,
yet I stay hidden.
I want to show the world my art,
yet I bury it within my soul.
This is who I am,
I am an artist,
yet I cannot draw.
I create art,
create it through words.
This is who I am,
my pencil is my sword,
my paper is my shield.
I am a warrior,
a warrior of literature.
Literature is my utopia,
no one can change that,
and that is because,
this is who I am.
