Why Do I Read?

I read books
because I like
being able to
pretend
I like to step away
from my life
and live someone elses
I can expeirence
new things
I can try to understand
the veiw points of
other people
and try to
emapthize
with their feelings
and I then
when I close the cover
I can take what
I learned
back with me
to my life.
It can do
things I otherwise
never could have.
I can go places
and be people
and
It's hard to explain
but I think
the biggest reaons I read
is to be able
to expand
my life
widden my horizon
of thought
and try to understand
the world
a little better.
