Iโve been standing up straight for far too long,
the lack of respect and attention is altogether wrong.
The circulation in my spine is nonexistent,
as I feel jealous and illy reminiscent.
I want to be held and gently considered,
but instead, Iโm yellowed and withered,
for I am a dusty old book, stuck on the corner of a shelf, that hasnโt been read in a very, very long time.

Ohh, this is both deep and dramatic. I mean, who wouldnโt want to rescue that poor dusty soul from its shelf-bound sorrow?
What book would you want to be, J? Les Miserables? Iโd probably be the Catcher in the Rye
This makes me want to explore a book store to see what treasures wait to be uncovered
