Books are hard to understand and read 
Reading is not for me 
What is there to understand? 
I'm just a young man 
Why must I read when I can write? 
Why must I look at the dark when I can look at the light? 
Why must I read about people's fears? 
It will never bring me into tears 
People don't read with their heart they read with their eyes 
So why must I waste my time on lies?
There is no love it's all hope 
We are drowning looking for the same boat 
But the boat doesn't exist 
So no need to read because it's all a myth
