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.
