    “...I day dream.
    Therefore,
    I am the queen,
    of my thoughts.
    Though thirteen,
    I drift,
    between,
    one conception,
    to another.
    I create opinions,
    liberate dilemmas,
    assert convictions,
    deal paroxysm,
    create perfections.”

    I am neither,
    a thinker,
    nor a,
    perceiver,
    I am a Day Dreamer...”
