Open Sesame

My cover is worn and torn,
open me up.

I will tell you a beautiful,
real, and fascinating story.

Please don’t discard me,
handle me with care.

Give me a chance and I’ll 
prove you wrong.

Just because my cover
is ragged doesn’t mean;
there’s not gold within my
pages.

I’m a rare gem and 
the knowledge I 
possess is priceless.

Open me up and read
my valuable story.
