Abused and misused

"It's a little overdue."

 

Ripped then shipped,

Someplace completely new

 

Disrespected and neglected,

Flawed and imperfected

 

Its cover always lacking, (Yet always the latest fashion)

Its contents in disarray

 

Silently begging for compasion

Yet just a little goes a very long way


The author's comments:

In my piece, "The Library Book", the book is meant to represent me. I think that a lot of people will be able to relate to this piece because a library books and people alike, no matter how torn and trampled upon they may be, can still be mended if they just get shown a little compassion. The scars caused by the abuse will still be there, however they can always be treated with love. Never forget that.
