Reading Stinks

Reading feels like a chore, a heavy weight, But it sharpens the mind like a blade. Books cause boredom to take over But wisdom is a flower that grows. Pages flip, leaving me wishing I was doing something else. But my brain is developing more and more. Though each crinkly, dusty page is taking away my joy, I know that reading will make me grow old. Although my excitement is not present for reading, I know that I will benefit from each black, bold word on the page.
