I am from books.
A place where fiction
Feels like reality.
Where all of your
Conundrums
Disappear the second
You crack the cover
Of each precious book.

I am from enticing book covers,
Ones that scream “Read Me!”
Hardcover to paperback, each
Story never fails to entertain.
From Beijing with Cynthea Liu
All of the way back to modern day
Boston with Suzanne Nelson.

I am from a world of words.
Long and short, but all
Deep in meaning,
Words that paint such vivid images
You can’t help but
Put yourself in the
Protagonist’s place.

I am from all over
Because my books
Take me there,
With each place
My books bring me
Comes a new me.
