********************************
dear
readers
i'm not a
pompous kid
i'm a
goofy one
with my
nose
forever pressed
between the
pages
of a book
tolstoy
bronte
shakespeare
i live in
worlds
that some people
never explore
i walk on
walls
and i marry
princes
i sneak through
castles
and run across
marshes
dear readers
i'm not a
sporty kid
i'm a
smart one
some people have
commits
while i'm on
committees
some people are
playing water polo
while i'm
planning parties
they're on
fun runs
while i'm
thinking up
fundraisers
dear readers
i'm not
"cool"
i don't
smoke or vape
or drink underage
i stay
holed up
in my bedroom
dancing on top
of trains
through fairytales
dear readers
my idols
are not
athletes
they're writers
readers
feminists
people who make
change
i don't want to
be a singer
or a soccer star
i want to be a
girl
who goes to
bed at night
thinking of
how romeo
looked at
juliet
as though she
was made of
magic
i want to
fall asleep
dreaming of
hogwarts
and evil fairies
and neverland
dear readers
i do not
care
for this
mundane reality
i want to
be swept away
into a
story
where a
prince kisses me
awake
well-mannered
but he's roguish
too
i want to
dream
when i'm older
not sit in an
office
surrounded by
the same people
our imaginations
gathering
dust
as if they were
textbooks
on a shelf
i want to live in
libraries
in stories
in places
that you couldn't
dream up
yourself
dear readers
i want to
live a life
in which
fairytales
come
true
