Why do I feel so lonely?
Suddenly feeling I don't belong
So I do the one thing that'll help me
I leave this life behind
I float away in a sea of imagination
As I go from each page to the next
Each book
A different destination
Where finally my mind is put to rest
Leaving all worries and troubles aside
I sink in each word
In each letter
Feeling ever so care free
The world moving
But leaving me
It feels so peaceful
Leaving this world
To enter anew
It feels so right
To escape everything I'm going through
And then it ends
And for a minute I'm put in a trance
Then I see what I have to go through once more
Everything counts
Everything's real
So instead I get another book
Sit down
And float once again in this sea.
-Hana H. Barakat
