I am book

I am book
I am old
and falling apart
I don't mind,
that my pages
are taped to my
spine
my cover is almost
not there.

I read calmy
everyday
sometimes I
fall asleep
and people shake me,
to wake me up.

My best friend is paper,
my words fill every
space of paper
my enemy is eBook
A fake,
not real,
book!!!!!!!!!

I go with the flow
and know
one day I will sit in a bookshelf,
while doing nothing
but sleeping
I will sleep
long,
long,
long
like a bear
during hibernation.

Remember
I am
old,
calm,
book.
