'Between the pages of a paperback,
In worlds far from my own,
I have found adventure and magic and beauty,
But most of all a home.
I have cried at the pain of creatures, that haven't taken a single breath.
I have been betrayed by people, that I have never really met.
I have fallen in love with people, I haven't even seen.
I have lived a thousand lives, though my body's only fifteen.
My head understands that these stories are not real.
But my heart cannot help how it feels.'.......................................................................
I pity those who don't read. Living a single life sounds boring.
Yours,
Celestia.
