Why I Stopped Reading

And Avoid Libraries

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I read her like a book

She wore her thoughts on her sleeve

From the way that she looked

She had opinions of me

Gave a nod and a wink

I was done before starting

Had me hook line and sinker

Her intent, disregarding

Put my heart through the ringer

And my name through the mud

Wrapped me around every finger

A prisoner, she’s the judge

And without any doubt

Sentenced me as a victim

Turned my world inside out

Caught up in my own prison

One thing that I learned

You just can’t believe what you read

I’ve since learned how to discern

And now, I only watch the tv

Telling stories my heart needs to tell <3 life is a journey, not a competition

If you like what you read, feel free to leave a tip, I would love some feedback
