They ask me to say something interesting about myself, and all I can think of is how I like to createCreate new characters, new shapes in different forms with different shades & tints
I like to create plots & story lines in alternative universes
They smile and call me "creative" & "artistic"
But they don't know the truth
They don't know I create to forget
I create fake characters with fake lives to make up for the lack of light in mine
I create noise to drown out the dreadful voices
I can barely hear myself think with all these ideas, but that's the way I like it
My head's full of fake scenarios trying to fill his absence
I create to distract myself from my own agony, to forget the unpleasant memories
Creating gives me a way to release all these pent-up emotions
Filling my head with new experiences -even if they're not mine- relieves the ache in my heart
This life I'm living was never the one I wanted but creating a new one is harder than I thought
You can keep calling me "artistic" & "creative" but all I know is that this is my journey to creating a better me
