Unraveled Roots

I crave pages
where lives unravel
characters flawed
striving
falling
reaching
traveling
toward stars
unseen

Show me
heroes stumbling
villains hesitating
sidekicks leading
in journeys
carved by
misdirection
missteps
and tears

I savor
stories holding
mirrors
reflecting empathy
sprouting roots
shoes not mine
on foreign paths
aching
blistering
bleeding

Fiction lights
my road
to grace

As flaws
shift
to strength

Every myth
epic or sharp
heals
my heart
and
molds
my mind
