Many believe in afterlife,
may it be heaven or hell.
Some believe reincarnation
relive as a doe or eagle.
But I, as a reader,
Lazy rain patters on the rooftop
Drops roll down the glass window
A room - dimly lit and cool
A tea kettle whispers slow
Through the window streams
The shelves nudge my hips as I pass.
They are jam-packed with too many books to count,
But I do. I count them all.
Their pages are rough and worn.
They hold memories of eras I long to visit.
She dreams of the ocean late at night
and longs for the wild salty air.
We all know the beauty of waves at twilight;
But she wants sails bathed in starlight,
Winds raking their fingers through her hair,
Worlds away, yet by my side.
Easy to see, but sometimes hides.
Laughing and crying.
Living and diying.
It maybe just paper to you, but the things i see in them always come through.
The minute she steps foot in a libraryShe has an excited lookAnd before you can even blink your eyeShe has her nose in a book
All my life I’ve hidden behind books,
But who am I without them?
Am I athletic? Funny? Do I have looks?
I’m searching for myself in all my brain’s nooks
I have accomplished a lot in my lifetime:
It's just not about the dates or the facts that follow. Reading thousands of pages. Finding the truths in all the words written hundred year old pieces of parchment. It is about all the lives that were impacted.
I am what I am
An unopened book,
Withholding surprises.
Patient in revealing secrets.
I am what I am
A fictional hero.
Durable courage,
Balanced with sympathy
Dear Me,
The world cannot change you
Although it has tried
Stereotypes wont cage you
nor the thoughts in your mind
When shores become rocky
And storms head your way
Keep your head up
emotions meet your demise
for it is a poem that looks you in the eye
happiness
no longer causes madness
insanity
reality
clarity
personality
no longer
cookie cutter
I'm a pretty girl
sometimes I forget that
I shouldn't care what people think
sometimes I forget that
People shouldn't take you for granted
sometimes I forget that
I'm more than a bookworm
