I’m all booked this weekend
They’re my friends and I won’t even pretend
I’ll just go to the beach and read
Forget all about my wants and needs
Ignore most of the things I need to do
And just enjoy a good book or two
I read so that my mind can find an exit
I write so that I can carefully create it
I write because that’s how I bleed
I write just so I can comfotably breathe
I write because no one really listens
I write because life does not glisten
Truth is hidden in fiction quite often
And it’s not always amicably exposed
So if you find me with my book open
Please keep your mouth firmly closed
