I have been dreaming of M.L King ever since I was born. I start every sentence with I have a dream, this is my nickname, The Dreamer. They have tried to lock me in a bedlam, when dreams became reality, for the very simple fact my dreams would not coincide with theirs. They set up obstacles for me, altering my fate, turning off the light under the pretext we had to spare the electricity. I kept dreaming loud becoming the Feeble Insomniac. I am not afraid of the Dark, because I lit candles for everybody. I am my own flaw.
