Book

I sat in the corner 

With a book in my hand

Searched for my spectacles

Found it in the bag

Then looked around

Found nothing interesting

And went back to reading

 Books opened new worlds for me

Which I never  would have gotten

 a chance to visit

It was my best friend

It was my saviour

I read to forget my sorrows

I read to find happiness

I read to  experience new things 

People called me different names

Nerd, bookworm were a few

But no one understood how much it meant 

To someone who was lonely

And needed company .....
