This was more of a writing prompt. It's not really a poem so feel free to skip this if u want.
As slaves we would risk our lives to pick up a book
Now the only thing at risk in those pages are our IQ scores
No one wants to read anymore
Like we would die if our skin touches a page
My favorite place in Baltimore is Barnes and Noble
It's the only sacred place I know
I travel through time and space within these walls
They call me a nerd
Like wanting to better myself is some type of sin.
I don't see the harm in loosing myself in those pages
They say, "Home is where the heart is."
But my heart will forever lay in the pages of my favorite book:
The Girl Who Could Fly
Because I will always fly
If not physically
Then mentally
With my heart, soul, imagination, and body
