I flee from reality,
To a land,
Where although not everyone is happy,

I steal from the pages,
Bound in a leather cage,
Happiness,
In a selfish,
Unforgivable way.

Wow this is... this is beautiful. You expressed this perfectly, and I really do understand what you mean. I really enjoy this poem. I think it might be one of my favorites on TI.

I really enjoy reading your work! Your ideas are so new, yet so universal to writers. You write of what every poet feels yet can't express as beautfiully as this. Purely beautiful.

Thank you. I read other peoples poetry and I think, I feel exactly like that, but I never would have been able to write that! It is just a weirdo thing that makes sharing poems so much more fantstic!

Lol! I don't think of it that way. There is something delightful in suspense. The troubles of characters put us on the egde of our seats with a pretend worry, but we enjoy it, because its pretend. I don't feel guilty when I enjoy a good book, but I can see how someone might. I love this poem anyway, because its delightfully simple, smooth, and about my favorite subject, escaping into a literary world! The slanted rhymes are good, and unlike some of the other poems ive read latel... (more »)

Hey, I apprecieat your comments. They make me feel good about my poetry. I feel guilty when I read a book, because I am leaving the problems with my life so I can revel in something that isn't real...

Ah! I read this comment last night and was crazy to reply, but I was on my nook. How do I explain this?
