A book

Is the world ever too much?
Do thoughts ever buzz in your head like bees?
Do people ever push you to your wit's end?
What do you do? Where do you go?
I grab a book.
I curl up in a quiet place with a cup of tea and I escape.
I escape to a different world.
Where other people have problems for them to deal with.
Where true love is more powerful than anything.
Where I can go on an adventure without leaving my bed.
Where I can experience emotional overload in the hands of a paperback.
Where small print text makes me cry like a baby.
The hero wins, love prevails.
Then two words shoot me violently back into my world.
"The End."
