I needed to know how they did it, so I borrowed a book on step-by-step

I got overwhelmed, depressed and quit, then picked up a Sylvia Plath poem set

That made me sad too, I needed some inspiration. Borrowed a book on Amelia Earhart and her tantalizing aviations

That book got me thinking, I could do that too. Borrowed a book on engineering; hoping that would see me through

I got too overwhelmed and thought “I need a good distraction.” This led me to an aisle of books that were crammed full of action

I don’t identify with cowboys, robots or witches and wardrobes. None of these characters could ever go where I go

See, I’ve been trapped inside this library since as long as i can remember; and the characters I read about are all about adventure

But everyday I sit here and I dream of something more. I can’t relate to these stories, these people are never bored!

I think and think and read some more, hoping to find peace

Maybe I could write a book about the nothingness in me?

See, I’ve been trapped inside this library since as long as I can remember. Nothing ever happens and the pages stuck together

However, it’s clear to me now. I could write a book on anything I want. Some other girl trapped in a library might read my story and say “Now THIS is the good stuff”
