Novels

So many times that you may often have some time to waste,

You'll see a lovely smile from a near onlooker's face,

And while it's shape and honest look beats all of those around,

Its such a shame to look and see it's been flipped upside-down.

They think that once you're seen that they will know your whole life story,

Mostly if the tale involves anything but glory.

What an avid reader! If you changed a few credentials,

Last time I checked, to turn a single page was an essential.

Your decorated cover has been spotted by somebody,

And from their lovely, mixed up smile, they dislike what you embody.

I'm sorry, human novel, it seems that you will not be read,

But your somehow "sketchy" cover will remain in someone's head.

Some authors just don't see the sun, but I guess in that case,

Why don't we lose some sunlight, so we'll never see a single face?

A stupid idea really, but it has a certain spark,

'Cause after all, nobody thinks to read when it is dark.
