Books
A book is not important
It is a rectangle on a shelf.
But a story is full of questions
Things I whisper to myself.
A story is full of magic
And things that hiss and bite.
But if you delve deeper
You’ll see things darker than night.
A heart full of darkness
A claw sharper than a knife.
A see those beady eyes,
Then I run for my life.
But these dangers are just stories
Things I cannot touch.
And a story is inside a book
And I know I’ve read too much.
A book is nothing at all
Just another useless thing.
But never forget the stories
And the dangers that they bring.
