“Bookworm”

Bookworm

This is for my people who love to read

with compassion

and imagination

For my people

who always have their head in a book

who are told that we are dumb for wasting our time on reading

For my people

who enjoy every last word of their book

who say that books are all they need in life

For my people

who are smart, quiet, and shy

who are trying to escape from real life by reading

For my people

who should be proud to be a bookworm for whom they are intelligent, passionate, and mysterious
