move on;

sometimes you gotta let go of the things that hold you back
that clutch at your heart
your suffocating soul
like a bird trapped in a gilded cage

there is no escape
or so does your betraying mind pollute

break free from the chains that tie you down
fight back, take back
the life that is rightfully yours

so that you may find peace
and finally move on

books and stories;

books and stories are my escape from reality
adventures not possible made epic
and we can be a part of the worlds
that only exist through writing
and the minds of brilliant writers.

unconfined by society
a stream of thoughts by a character
can inspire a generation.
the history of the world can be changed
by a single work
and better the place that we call home.

there is something magical
opening up a book and leafing through the pages.
take a deep breath
the scent of a unread book fills the soul.
the words will feed the hungry mind
and perhaps along the way
we will discover ourselves.
