You are, as they say, an open book,
Into your soul its not too hard to look
Your thoughts are the ink,
How you feel, the white page
The jacket what you’ve done,
The frayed binding what you’ve overcome
The dogeared pages thoughts put aside for later
The torn pages the things that have made you a hater
The prologue the things you used to believe
The epilogue those hopes you can barely conceive
When all’s said and done,
You’re the kind of book,
I can never put down,
You’ve got me I’m hooked!
