Stories

I want to write a story that's not mine
Fantastical
Full of wonder
Characters of substance and charisma
But my story always creeps in
People I know
Myself, 
That person I hardly know
Most of the time

I want to write a story
Of someone else
But everything I write
Is still me
Somehow
No matter the subject

Am I really that self-centered?
