A spoken-word piece that serves as a reminder if I ever forget myself....which is often.

200 pages.

This story
I’m still writing

I am a book
Not just a line
Or a catchy hook
I don’t expire
I am not to be retired

Not compiled
Of blank sheets
Can’t be summed up
As a quick read

The stories hidden
Inside paper walls
Is to be done leisurely
Not an assignment
Not something to study

I deserve to be someone’s
Favorite book
To be tattered
And have creases
Marking me at my best moments

Break my spine
Because I’m worth
Opening and reading wide
Parts of me
Should be your favorite lines

The oils from your fingertips
Let it seep in
Stain my edges
Let everyone see
I’m your favorite thing to read

I am a set of words
You shouldn’t put down
I’m a hardcover
You should always carry around

Place me on your nightstand
Choose me
When you should be sleeping
Tuck me in your bag
In case it gets boring
I’m the remedy

I’ve been printed
And pressed
No, I’m not the best
At most a cult classic

Though I may not fit
Everyone’s taste
My adventures
And plot misplaced
I do not belong
On a shelf

I am not instructions
Or self-help
I teach nothing
Of logic or understanding
Only love and how life’s demanding

Despite what these
Broken down
Processed trees
Say with ink
I am worthy

Worth the hundredth look
Despite knowing the end
Pick me up again
I deserve to be someones
Favorite book
