I use books as an escape.
When I hear them yelling,
I listen for damage
and do not make a sound.

When I hear them yelling,
I run to my room
and do not make a sound,
for I am escaping.

I run to my room,
and close the door
for I am escaping,
bug me no more.

While I am escaping,
I listen for damage.
They ask why I have so many books,
I use books for escaping.
