Word by word

chapter by chapter
this is my escape
my sweet, sweet escape
I get to pretend
that I am one of the characters
with their perfect
or not so perfect lives
their dreams
instead of mine
I live by their rules
and on their turf
I follow their story
to escape my own
this is what reading is to me.
