If a were book will i be an interesting novel ?,

If a were book ,I would be a happy book ,

Happy that the readers understand me better than myself ,

Happy that someone is listening to what’s in my head ,

Happy that I will have a pov,

Happy that I might be adored by them,

Happy that they will know how I function .


If a were a book I will be anxious ,

Anxious that I wouldn’t be interesting to my readers ,

Anxious that my life plot isn’t to their taste ,

Anxious that as a character I’m not it ,

And anxious that they might also not get me ,

Anxious I would be a very boring book 


If a were a book I would be interested ,

Interested to know how my readers will take care of me ,

Would I be on a shelf ,

Or under a bed ,

Would I be together with other piles of books ,

Or a lost book that can’t be found ,

Would I be a book that will be recommended ,

Or rejected ,

Would I be a book with an interesting cover and title,

Or it not being to the readers taste at all .
