Unread.

Updated: Aug 10, 2023


It sat in a library


Untouched,

Under-appreciated,

Unread


A book just as good as any other,

But overlooked because of its appearance,

Ignored because of its past


A book


Tattered,

Torn,

Tortured


Containing a mind-boggling stench of cigarettes and rockstar,

But its aroma just as exquisite as the books made from the finest oak tree


A book that very few have truly read,

But its words have changed those who have


Luckily, I started its story

Although my biggest regret is that I did not finish


Damaged,

Imperfect,

But incredibly beautiful


Scarred, but fearless

Crazy to most, but sound underneath its rough edges


Its words were blurry,

Yet,

They changed my life


When I went to the library to read the book again,

My heart broke to see it was out of stock


It cannot be written,

It cannot be bought,

It can’t be found.


This book has been discontinued.


But by His immense and unending grace,

There will be time for another read.


(I love you Uncle Vladi, you will always be my rockstar. We'll see each other again<3)
