I opened a book

I opened a book and in I strode.
Now nobody can find me
I've left my couch, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.

I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,
I've swallowed the magic potion.
I've fought with a dragon, dined with a king
And dived in a bottomless ocean.

I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter,
And followed their road with its bumps and bends.
To the happily ever after.

I finished my book and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My couch and house are just the same,
But I have a book inside me.
And it'll be there forever.
