No Longer My Own [by Lera Auerbach]

No Longer My Own – Ink on Paper by Lera Auerbach
  1. Some books matter only
    for the future-books
    hiding in them.
  2. Books with strong plots
    offer safe captivity,
    allowing us to hide.
  3. Books without plots
    may dangerously spiral,
    exposing us to memories of unburnt desires.
  4. When you are writing a book, in reality, you are writing two books:
    one is the book you are writing; the other is the book
    about writing the book you're writing.
  5. I face myself in the mirror,
    but I'm no longer my own.
