PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You read a book.

You escape this world.

But only for a short time.

While you read your not on Earth anymore,

Your in a place of romance, fantasy, horror, and lies. 

It keeps you at the edge of your seat with a good twist,

Or makes you tear up.

But what do you do when you finish?

You're back to reality.

Then what? 

It fills you with hopes that can never come true.

It's just a book.

You wish you were the main character and it was your life.

But it's all made up,

In the mind of some stranger.

What do you do after that?

That's when you come to realization.

You CAN'T be that character,

But you can create a whole new one.

With a different plot.

You could kill them off,

Or let it be a "Happily ever after"

All because of reading a book.

It's just a book.
