Slightly To The Right Poem by Marlo Jenkins

Slightly to the Right!

I asked Kamiyah time after time, why is that every time I walk by you your face is constantly in your phone? And not in your book? Ma it's because every time I pick up a book, its becomes more of a reality to me and I'm able to see so far ahead and then my dreams are no longer a fantasy, but it's very scary for me you see because living in a fantasy is where I want to be… therefore my eyes Shift to the right of me and not where they need to be…..this life of mines has taken control of me and this book I refuse to let be a part of me, because you remember my fantasy its where all my friends accept me and they tell me I can be whatever I want to be and never let ANYTHING control me! So every time I pick up a book, instead of focusing on reality my eyes shift Slightly to the Right of me!
