Every book I open
Every story I read
Another adventure I start
Another Life I begin
I just don't belong
Not in the real world
But however unlikely
In literacy I find a place
In the end
The pages ripped my heart
They pull me apart
They ruined my life
And they changed who I am
Yet without them
My life is nothing
I am incomplete
The author who holds the knife
Dangles it over my head
With each character's death
A new tear in my soul
A new life in literacy
A gift not all can receive
Without literacy
I would have no life at all
Such is the curse
of the reader
Do not feel sorry
from them
Feel sorry for those,
those who do not read
For those who live,
but one life
A life a ignorance at that
