Favorite Quote:
"Not in doing what you like, but liking what you do is the secret of happiness" - J.M Barrie


Books are my crooks

They’re my favorite drug

They stole from me 

The only thing I love

My childhood

Buried under pages

My life 

Reading deathly wages 

My fantasies become reality

When my eyes are buried deep

Words swirling 

Speeding past

Just so this dream can last

At night 

Instead of dreaming

I’m staying awake reading

“Just one more page,” I say

I could say that till the day

It takes me away 

From living everyday

My own life

 I try to hide

Behind pages

They take me places I’ve never been 

I dream about when, oh when 

I’ll escape 

These walls of paper

That seal my fate

I've always loved reading books, but sometimes that takes moments away.
