If I Came From A Novel
If I Came From A Novel
I want to change myself to what I want to be
Like how they are in the books
Strong, fashionable, brave or weird
Alluring in behaviour or by looks
What if I got a chance
Then I would probably write what would happen tomorrow
Erase a yesterday, interesting add ons
I'll live in the ideas from novels I borrow
I wouldn't have people
Who tell me to mind my own business
Or the neighbor's who turn their backs
I'll be free of all this mess
I could get up and look at myself
And feel there is something to live for
There are actually emotions involved
Except for disappointment and boredom
People from the books wake up to something
New or exciting, or worthwhile
Not predictable events of eating and sleeping
I know I'm waiting on a blank file
Give me a pen that writes the novel of life
I'll add some lines, cut the rest
Then I'll not be breathing for the sake of it
I'll live a graphic novel, one of the best.
