My Book

Rylee Stein 2005 (Ephrata, PA)



My book has been written
The pages are worn and defied

My book will leave some smitten
And others quiet

My book is not attainable to the human eye
But rather perceived in the mind

My book is everlasting
It seems to ignore the time

For you see
My book is what you think of me

About this poem

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago and I came across it again. The initial thought came up one day after my classes and I just started writing before it got away from me. Here is the revised poem after some years.
