    “Who says paper worlds
    Are an escape from what is real?
    As though the lives trapped in their binding
    Are not ones that make you feel.

    Come from those with ink for skin,
    Who reach beyond the page
    To take our hand and pull us in.”

    “There is a fable in the forest
    Whispered by the branches, as they blow.
    A tale about the truth of leaving
    Things that no longer help you grow.
    For on the surface it looks simple,
    Like you only need lace your boots,
    But there is nothing quite as painful
    As untangling your roots.
    And proof is found in tree stumps
    Of the price some pay to flee,
    That they would cut their lives in half
    To cut the time before they're free.
    Yet from the little left behind
    Life has been known to grow again,
    For unless you take your roots
    A part of you will still remain.”
    Erin Hanson
