My Obsession
My love and obsession is the written word
Whether in a poem or my favorite book.
It can hold pieces of the past and contain
mystery,
I enjoy reading about the days of old.
When money is tight, I can travel to various
places.
And different cultures emerge and I see
amazing things.
I'm a hopeless romantic so I read for sure
pleasure,
Who knows what I find? Reading is what I
love to do.
As a child I endured so much pain and the
written word soothed me.
A beautiful book gave a hurt girl shelter from
the rain.
My obsession allowed me to be or do anything
I became free,
I believe in the written word, it was my life line.
