Poem #28

The Stories I’m From I am from the Chrysalids, from being a normal mutant and escaping to Sealand. I am from The Book Thief (emotional, and tense it encouraged me to move on with life despite a rough beginning.) I am from I am David, the character, David, whose father died to a poor choice I am from life being horribly nice at all times, from The Landlady Christopher Mulholland and Gregory Temple. I’m from determination. and the ones willing to to fight for discrimination from Borders. I’m from The Outsiders with tensity and fast-moving when life seems to be hard. I’m from Wendy, Peter, and Geoge Hadly laziness and being spoiled by machines. From a horrible truth to overcome a scream, a corpse, and a lion. the pages of The Veldt keeping me up late at night. Under each book on my TBR pile was another book calling my name a bittersweet feeling to pull me into the pages. I am from those stories - and so many more - awaiting me on the bookshelf.
