When You Open a Book

And when you open that book With your expectations to find the food, exactly how they appeared on the commercial Disappointment awaits you Book cover are just as appetising as the delicious food you see on the fliers But look awkward once ordered Ignore the advert and order your venom And when you read your first chapter Skip unto the last page and that’s how you finish a thousand pages long prose but the void in your head The questions with no answers Shall motivate you to reverse unto the first page as your flip page after page and that’s how you finish a thousand pages long prose When you close that book and remember absolutely nothing Open it for the second time This time,with a piece paper and a pen Paint down the important images you encounter and that’s how you summarise a thousand pages long prose And when you close that book again it isn’t the end maybe it is the end With all the reading struggles The sleepless nights and fights Remember, when you close and hid me in your shelf I will be right here Right here in your room, Should you need me, This time, hurry before your ants order me
