Sprinted pages
Prepare to turn
Several worlds
I just can't take
Beginners stages
Time to learn
Crooked spine
Not meant to break
Rusted cover
Prepare to burn
Every page
Shows a new trait
Only borrowed
Not meant to hurt
But others faults
Are their mistakes

This poem was inspired by all of the books that I borrowed from the library and how they affected me.
