Let them have their stressful days
But please don’t include me in your stressful ways.
For I’ll much rather look —
When I have a book.
Cause a book in hand is like bird wings
Flying to different worlds with all sorts of things.
Goblins fighting for some gold
Children not doing what they’re told.
Elves with their faces pale
Or in the winter lands of hail.
Silver rivers rising in the storm
Mysterious men who can change their form.
Staring into eyes of doom
Sitting with tea in a room.
So yes, yes, you can be stressed
But when I’m reading my book, I’m blessed.
About the Creator

I’m a First Nations 16 year old young man, probably an old soul (not that there's anything wrong with that). I live in Saskatchewan, and I love reading, writing, conlanging, and collecting sarcastic T-shirts.

Too true! And also, Stephen King said that if you're not a reader, you'll never be a great writer. This was well done!
