Books have power over me
I somehow fathom its own beauty
It makes me feel so many at once
It’s like my heart is going to dance
I’ve been in so many different places
And met people of various shapes and sizes
I’ve done these things without leaving
My bedroom, here, I’m just sitting.
So if you ever see me reading
Don’t you dare go disturbing
I am a captive in this kingdom
Of print and paper with no ransom

So if you ever see me reading

I am a captive in this kingdom
