I open the book,
I am pulled into a world unlike my own,
Away from my life and troubles.

I am someone else.
I walk in the shoes of the character,
I follow their decisions,
I grow as they grow.

But all too soon the resolution is here,
And I feel sad,
Closing the book.
That made up world just disappears...

I wrote this in my 8th grade math class, extremely upset because my math teacher's helper took my book from me, and here it is.
