I Am A Book

Page 6. 

My pages are clean 

and crisp 

and new. 

There's fun in my story 

and so much 

to do. 

My spine is quite strong, 

bound tightly 

with care. 

My character runs 

with the wind 

in her hair. 

Page 10. 

My pages are flexible 

but still in 

good shape. 

There's a chase in my story; 

she needs to 

escape. 

My spine is still firm 

but the binding's 

not tight. 

My character smiles but 

things aren't 

alright. 

Page 15. 

My pages are worn 

and torn 

and stained. 

There's love in my story 

and passion 

and pain. 

My spine's been abused, 

gone flimsy 

and weak. 

My character sits 

all alone; 

things look bleak. 

Page 17. 

My pages are finally 

falling 

apart. 

My story has changed 

quite a bit 

since the start. 

My spine is now broken, 

now brutally 

shred. 

My character wants 

to put a bullet 

in her head. 

Page 20. 

My pages are taped up 

and looking 

just fine. 

My story's still going; 

the control 

is all mine. 

My spine is sore but 

still holding 

together. 

My character made it; 

she's finally 

better.
