I flip the pages of a book and slip inside
where crystals seas await and pirates hide.
I find a paradise where birds can talk,
where children fly and trees prefer to walk.
Sometimes I end up on a city street,
I recognize the brownskin girl I meet.
She's skinny, but she's strong and brave and wise.
I smile because I see me in her.
I took this from somewhere but it's so true. That's how I feel when I'm reading a book, no matter what kind.
