The unread book

I'm like the unread book
Only the beginning is read
Then you don't get a second look
You just get thrown away

But I'll keep smiling anyway
Pretending to be happy
Hoping I'll be read again one day
Not just read but understood

Ever seen a book that cries?
Did you ever take the time to notice?
Ever seen a book that dies?
Then it is unread forever.
