To some people
they're just bits of paper
glued to a fragile spine

But to me they are friends
welcoming me at any time
opening up their hearts
to show me their secrets

I laugh with them
I cry with them

they've let me into
the lives of so many
people with fantastic lives
people who have grand adventures
and for a few hours
I forget
That I'm just me

Yeah cheesy poem about books. But I was really depressed and laying on my bed and I looked at my bookshelves. All of them jammed with books. I counted them once, 457. and that was before I bought about 10 more.

Yeah, it's very true. Books are friends, and they let you forget everything. It feels like you're right there watching that person struggle, triumph, laugh, cry, scream, shiver, bleed, heal....everything....It's incredible.

I really like this poem, I hope you don't mind that I've used it for the frontpage of my autobiografic readessay, or something like that. I guess I had to say that, BEFORE I printed it... soory about that. But I guess it's just flattering for you....

I would have appreciated it if You had asked me before hand. Most people would not be too happy with you for doing that. In the future you have to ask the artist's permission before using their work in any form. I sincerly hope you credited me as the author of the poem.

P.S you better get an A!
