A Girl and Her Notebook
Again.
A girl and her notebook
Drew herself a world
Hers and hers alone
A girl and her notebook
Sometimes she’d forget
Hers and hers alone
Her notebook, her world
Sometimes she’d forget
That her world only existed
Her notebook, her world
Had never existed at all
That her world only existed
On paper pages
Had never existed at all
Fragile and breakable
On paper pages
Wrote her heart's desires
Fragile and breakable
They came to life
Wrote her heart's desires
Into her imagined reality
They came to life
She’d forget for a little while
Into her imagined reality
She’d throw herself in
She’d forget for a little while
Her world, hers and hers alone
She’d throw herself in
Frantically scrawling on cramped pages
Her world, hers and hers alone
Was only real in a notebook
Frantically scrawling on cramped pages
Imagined worlds blurred with real tears
Was only real in a notebook
When she’d remember, sometimes it rained in her world
Imagined worlds blurred with real tears
Faded graphite on crumpled paper
When she’d remember, sometimes it rained in her world
Nothing more than pretend
Faded graphite on crumpled paper
She wrote harder
Nothing more than pretend
Pleaded for her world to last longer
She wrote harder
To stay in her world
Pleaded for her world to last longer
Just a little longer
To stay in her world
Stay a little longer
Just a little longer
She cried
Stay a little longer
And sometimes
She cried
You can’t pretend any more
And sometimes
She’d throw down her notebook
You can’t pretend any more
Casting off from her world
She’d throw down her notebook
But sometimes
Casting off from her world
She just couldn’t let go
But sometimes
She couldn’t stop
She just couldn’t let go
She’d write a new reality
She couldn’t stop
Drew herself a world
She’d write a new reality
Again.
