the books are flying of the shelves
landing on the floor with a bang
with every book that hits the floor
her anger increases
how much she had hoped
that these books would help her
to improve her life
to organise her time
to become more assertive
to be more successful
to find meaning and joy
and meet her eternal soulmate
she had followed their advice
trusting their beautiful words
but has been disappointed
again and again and again
I watch her and see her anger increase
and wonder if she realises that
she is now finally helping herself
