How They Feel About My Books

They keep telling me to stop what I love. 

They tell me that it's wrong,

 that it's bad. 

That is should be a pain not pleasure. 

I feel a great pain that they do not see what I can see. 

Can they not see how badly they're hurting me,

 my stories,

 the things I believe,

 they try to force their own beliefs on me.

 In their eyes reading is bad, a crime even. 

Something no one should ever do. 

I am too different to be like them. 

Sad, one of my best friends is a book. 

A comfort in a time of need. 

Something that will never judge me. 

A book gives me great joy as I feel great joy at my characters joy,

likewise my sorrow at theirs. 

Some people may never know this wonderful feeling,

even though it pains me so,

they refuse to see my way. 

They see reading as a waste of time,

I'll keep telling them that they're wrong... 

But they might never see that I am right.
