Lands long lost are suddenly found,
Mysteries of the earth are slowly unwound,
Imagination in pages all around,
With places in which I can be me,
The cage I am in requires a key
So it looks to be books,
That will set me free.

I wrote this for an English class last year and was hoping someone could critique it for me.

I love this because I can totally relate to it. I love immersing myself in books and they really do set me free when everything around me is confining me. Books are like magical places to escape to. I like this poem.
