The Book

It was a world made up

A story line exaggerated

Thoughts of an author written

A beautiful semantic on paper.

It's a way to escape

Not just pain, happiness and feelings

It's to escape reality as a whole

A getaway better than Nevada.

The book made me a sheikha

A princess one time, then a vampire next

Most times someone just in love

But every character I read, I live for.

At first it helped to forget pain

Then it made me happy

After that, I can't seem to stop

It seems the book is addicting to a fault.

Well maybe not the book itself

Maybe it's the stories

Sometimes I think it's the story plot

But whichever, I think the book helps forget.

The book is something I can always hold

Like an anchor to a ship who wishes to be still

A rock to a paper that's weightless

Or maybe it can be a god of some sorts.

My addiction to the book is frantic

I praise it like an eager pagan

Knowing it's wrong does not hinder me

This is the book that gave me back my sanity.

Don't argue if it's bad or good

Because one can never tell for sure

If the book is saving me

Or maybe the book is silently killing me.
