Analysis of The Book
I am like a Book, You hold me and examine my outer cover.
You open me up, to only pick out what you feel you need to know.
Then, without a thought, you close it. Never to read me from front to back.
I am just like a Book.
You walk into a Library, you look and, you pick out the best.
You judge me from my cover.
you never looked at my Heart to understand me.
you read and gather bits and pieces for your knowledge then close me shut and walk away.
