Book

Perspective of a book

Book

I see many customers pass in front of me,

Some just ignore,

Some pick and look at me.

They keep me back on the bookshelf,

A place where I am destined to be.

I promise to be a good book only if you give me a chance to be,

Stop judging me and have a close look at me.

Then you'll know the words inked on me.

I am sure that you will like what is in me,

I can be a best friend only if you give me a chance to be.

I see the bestsellers and imagine myself there,

I promise to be close to your heart,

Only if you open and read me.

I am lying all alone with other books,

I am worthy only if you just open and take a look.

[Najam Us Saher]

Thank you so much. ☺

[wordman]

we are open books,but you have to read

[Najam Us Saher]

Thank you so much.

[Mr.Writer]

Wow Najam! The way you compared yourself to a book was fantastic!!
I really enjoyed reading the poem and felt that the rhyming part enhanced the poem as well :)

[Najam Us Saher]

Thank you very much.

[Mr.Writer]

No problem! :)

[Zoya]

The comparison you've made here is based on a new, different and amazing idea. The poem really elaborates the meaning of the phrase- don't judge a book by its cover. And also the message you've conveyed through this poem- giving equal chances to everyone, makes it more meaningful. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing!

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes I wanted to decipher that phrase. Thank you so much. You made me happy with your kind words.

[Zoya]

Glad to know. You're welcome :)

[Jay-LH]

[Najam Us Saher]

Thank you so much.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh yes, we're all books. And the people in our lives the pages. It depends on us whether we want to be an open book or the other way round though the latter is better in my opinion.
I really liked how you compared yourself to a book.
This line here:
"Stop judging me and have a close look of me."
Should be 'at' instead of 'of'..

Nicely penned.

[Najam Us Saher]

Ok I'll just correct it. Thank you so much :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You're welcome, Najam. A pleasure 😊

[Farhan Shaikh]
