I so relate to this!

… scrambling
up the beaches of Normandy,
maybe picking pockets in London
with the crew from Dickens.
The books my only friends,
their stories told, my heroes
running free. I often fell asleep
leaning against a pillow in
the corner, book under the blanket
pulled up to my chin, talking
to my friends in the stories
that took me anywhere but
where I was.
