It’s weird how words seem miniscule at the moment,
But are titanic when you need them.
It’s weird how books are boring to most,
But are always there no matter what insult.
And it’s weird how actions speak louder than words,
But words are the most impacting.

The author's comments:
This piece is supposed to let people realize what they take advantage of; people always say "hey, what do we need books for?," or "i hate this book!" but really, they miss the fact that books are really something; they contain words, and words have all the power in the world.
