Tell me a story
of the girl
who was raised on the books.
Tell me a story of her
strength, I ask.
Tell me of all the times
she smiled up at the sky,
blond hair and hazel eyes.
Tell me a story
of all the times
she cried.
Tell me of a girl
who hid away...
so very far away
so deeply afraid.
Tell me a story of the girl
who hid in the books
because they gave her life.
