Our Secret World
The Netherworld is the place we run
To escape real world demands
It's the one place where we can truly be ourselves
It doesn't matter if no-one else understands

Notes:
Over the years, the members of Team Netherworld have heard how our blogs are "stupid" and "weird," and so are we. Our founder, The Real Cie, gets the brunt of this as she created the Netherworld blogs and is the member of our group who is the most active, even if much of what she does is behind the scenes as our editor, making sure that each post will adhere to the Netherworld mythology.
It is so hurtful to have your creative work constantly torn down. Cie is a sensitive person, as is everyone in our group. Most of us have had to deal with people who just don't get where we're coming from, who think we should just put our foolish flights of fancy aside.
This is a terrible thing to say, especially as in some cases, the flights of fancy may be the one thing that keeps a person hanging on.
The Netherworld is real to us. It may not be "concrete reality," but in some ways it is more real.
As the verse on our blog header at Dark Hearts Love Too says, it's "the only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems."
Bless Steve Harris for writing those magical lyrics. He's been an inspiration to us.
