Dear books, my best friends
I am sorry I abandoned you for so long.
The glitzy phone and its shenanigans distracted me.
The lure of an insta reel.
Made me yearn and feel.
Emotions suppressed and unrealized
They danced and twirled
In front of my eyes.
The fear of missing out
Made me watch every fb story.
I was so jealous of everyone else’s perfection
That I forgot to revel in my own glory.
Dear books, I now know your magic is subtle and true.
I can travel this world and other worlds with you.
With you more gray cells grow in my brain.
With those instas and fb, it is more of a brain drain.
Your presence enhances my knowledge, makes me wise.
Their stories are mostly made up, blatant lies.
The slow magic in your pages,
Gives me the wisdom of ages.
In the company of long gone sages.
So I have come back to you..this time never to part.
It is time to rekindle our lost love.
It is never too late to restart.
