Author's Note: I do know that I have a collection for poems, but I didn't feel that this fitted in a collection. I created it a week ago, taking a break from my current project. I had just reread the series, and I wanted to show a character's progression through the series. I chose Winter, because in my eyes, he is the most tragic character. I didn't realize Faded Portraits existed, or that it covers the same topic as mine, but you should definitely read it if you like Winter. Sandshadow did a great job.
With that, out of the way, enjoy.

Even though that's what she hates.

There's a difference.
I tried so hard to be someone I wasn't.
It only caused me more pain,
Because I never embraced who I was.

Winter the Icewing.
But I was never truly an Icewing.
I'm Winter.
I'm in love with Moon.
But I was never truly loved by her.
I'm Winter.
Prince Winter.
But I was never a dragon of legends.
I lied to my friends,
I lied to my family,
I lied to those I love,
But most importantly,
I lied to myself.
