I've lived my whole life in a book Just wanting to get away from this world Wanting what I read What I imagined What I dreamt life could be I've lived my whole life in a book Picking every word apart Dissecting every sentence  Looking for a key Something to let me in Into a place better than what I was supposed to call home   I've lived my whole life in a book Reading every line Memorizing every paragraph Every page So when I left what I was comfortable with, I still had some of it with me I've lived my whole life in a book One of my creation One to keep reality away To keep the shadows of life from closing in Looks like I only have a few chapters left I tried to live my life in a book It worked pretty well At least until it ended  With the story drawing to a close The plot coming to an end The final page must be turned In order to start another epic My book is finished But not to worry For I have so many more However this time I think I shall create my own For this is my story And I'm not about to let you Write one for me Mitchell S.

My Story
I've lived my whole life in a book Just wanting to get away from this world Wanting what I read What I imagined What I dreamt life could be I've lived my whole life in a book Picking every word apart Dissecting every sentence  Looking for a key Something to let me in Into a place better than what I was supposed to call home   I've lived my whole life in a book Reading every line Memorizing every paragraph Every page So when I left what I was comfortable with, I still had some of it with me I've lived my whole life in a book One of my creation One to keep reality away To keep the shadows of life from closing in Looks like I only have a few chapters left I tried to live my life in a book It worked pretty well At least until it ended  With the story drawing to a close The plot coming to an end The final page must be turned In order to start another epic My book is finished But not to worry For I have so many more However this time I think I shall create my own For this is my story And I'm not about to let you Write one for me Mitchell S.
