What Reading Feels Like

May 7, 2022

Sitting on my bed 

with a fluffy blanket 

up to my chest. 

Getting cozy and warm 

as I crack open my book 

and start to read. 

The world I’m in vanishes 

like it’s been sucked 

into a vacuum cleaner. 

I get teleported to a new one. 

One where 

I have no idea 

what to expect. 

It could be a heartbreaking romance 

about two people on opposite sides. 

It could be about a girl 

fighting to break a curse. 

Or maybe a boy 

who is a long lost heir. 

The worlds could be magical 

with all kinds of creatures

or they could be just like ours.  

Whatever it is, 

it allows me to forget

the things going on around me.

I love to read because it takes me away from the real world and into a new one which is why I wrote this poem.
