I've read

The funny thing is I hardly ever read ^__^

I've read

I've read words of anger,
Words of woe,
Some I've read fast,
Some I've read slow.

I've read quotes of horror,
Quotes of fear,
Quotes of the darkness
forever drawing near.

I've read sentences of the living,
Sentences of the dead,
Sentences so illuminating
that in shame I lower my head

I've read paragraphs of power-
Which cut the heart like a knife.
But what am I reading, you ask?
Why... it's just the tale of life.

Edited it a bit to add some punctuation :D
thanks for all the constructive critisism everyone.. very much appreciated
