Read

Why do we read? Isn’t reading just saying words on pages. Why read while you can Snapchat, or talk behind someone’s back Yes, why not destroy someone’s self esteem? Making people feel like they are nothing. Books can’t call someone, or text, or Snapchat. Yet we can find confirmation in these words on pages. These pages with no life, Can breathe life into us Giving a friend to those with no friends. Because a book cannot judge you It can’t tell you that your clothes are ugly. Or that you are not cool or hip like me. Yet some people cannot read. Those who need it the most. Those who think that they are nothing. Those who have no self esteem. Those who need a friend. Yet they don’t know that a friend is waiting for them to pick them up. And read. Books inspire people. Books inspire people to live. Because even though that person might get bullied. Or harassed. They know that a book, no a friend, is waiting to get picked up again.
