To be away from my books
Why it’s utter blasphemy
To take away such joy
Would only lead to agony
It’s an ache within my soul
To devour these stories
The need to educate myself
To learn is to breathe
With every tale I read
Knowledge grows necessary
To interpret the lives of many
Bound in paper and ink
It fills my life with meaning
A developing narrative
Evolved by novels and legends
I flourish under their mastery
It’s a fundamental part of me
My first love being reading
