Sometimes I read
To get the adventure.
Or the suspense.
Or the Romance.
But most of all,
I read
For reassurance
That everything
Will be okay
That nothing
Won't not be
That everything is
Going to be
All right
That the problem will be
Resolved
Between
Darcy and Elizabeth
Bingley and Jane
Best friends
Family
Eragon and Aria
School
The King and I
Money
Beliefs
Harry and Voldemort
Because in books
They will
Resolve
No one has lose their house
No one has break their heart
Nothing scary has to happen
Anyone evil can be defeated
No one has to die
And if they do happen
Its okay
Because it't not
Real
And everyone
Knows
It will be okay
But life really is like
A story book with
Princes
Frogs
Wishes
Superpowers
With the steady, constant things
The new page every so many lines
Every page number in chronological order
Period at ends of sentences
But also with
The different smells of each book
The plots twists
The different messes on each page
The bent spine
And so I look to
Books
But for more than the
Story
Harry and Voldemort!!!! I know what you mean--it's not just the story and the characters, but the message they're trying to send, and the author isn't writing this story just because. They want a message to be shared with the world, and are saying it through these characters.
