With a book
I found peace in that book.
In every word, in every line,
Gold-colored ink spoke to my soul.
My spirit would gently lie low.
I felt joy in the hope.
That the stories would come alive,
But, alas, it won't be true.
I finally understood.
The character I loved,
In the book, it didn't hurt me.
It was there. I faced my reality.
Life's lessons, with each page turn,
They reached the forefront,
In every chapter and every verse,
I found solace; I found my truth.
In that book, my heart was soothed.
Oh, the wisdom it bestowed,
In those pages, my spirit glowed.
I found strength; I found my way.
In that book, I'll forever stay.
