Dear reader

I am saying good bye to you,

my dear reader,

Because I know after I look back over my shoulder you will be gone,

onto the next page,

maybe even the next book,

forgetting about all the little words I write on this page.

 

You will read amazing things,

from fiction,

to poetry,

maybe you will read horror,

or action,

or you might love romance,

or maybe you will read all of these because you want to live through all the lives you can't. 

 

I think it is time I bare you a farewell,

and let you move onto your next page to get captured in,

I wonder if you will write that page yourself,

or if you will read someone else's story,

either way that will be your decision,

and we will see if you remember me,

happy wandering dear reader until next time.

  • Ink

    There is a different version of me that leaks out,

    dripping ink on these pages,

    hollow and raw,

    saying all my thoughts.

     

    A flow of words that may have never left my head,

  • Lenses

    We need more joy in this world, 

    we need less of this depressing sense of life, 

    when everything around us is so beautiful. 

     

    But we only look through a gray lens to see it. 

  • Rabbit hole

    I'm looking in the mirror,

    I don't match the picture on the screen,

    should I be sad or pleased?

     

    One click at a time,

    one more scroll,

    oops I fell down the rabbit hole.
