My soul in a simple swirl
My most trusted friend hidden in the pages of a book
Riddled with the lyrics of a confused girl
When in pain, all it took was one look.

You contain my deepest ambitions
Revealing the senses of my past
Long nights spent dreaming of being a musician
While writing the thoughts of an outcast.

You saved me from being silent
Igniting my thoughts and ideas
While letting go of the violence
Surviving through my disarranged fears.

Tattered and frayed
Covered in years' worth of stains
Riddled of my past loves betrayed
Cream recycled paper blemished by my story remains.
You're filled with the memory of my lost tears
Forgotten smiles and treasured bonds with friends
Documenting my precious years
Navigating a world that will never end.
