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
