I am a Reader

I am a reader.

I have lived a thousand lives,

in a thousand worlds,

with a thousand minds.

I have felt grief and sorrow,

had tears and trials time and time again.

But no matter the pain,

I will turn the page.

I suffer for a life not my own,

and I have felt joy times a million.

A feeling like no other,

seemingly foolish and yet infinitely powerful.

I travel foreign lands,

meet many strange people,

and discover what I can do.

All while sitting in my bedroom.

I am reader.

I have lived a thousand lives,

and died a thousand times.

Each time I am reborn,

a greater person than before.
