This Notebook - Dropout Year

If this is the start of a new game that we’ll play

Dice will shake like my voice when i say the first move never felt so wrong

I never thought it’d take so long.

and i tip toe in a new direction

Drop subtle hints for a glance of attention.

take a step back for a second to

mention

If i cross a line just know i meant it.

but ill only go far enough,

to stay this close

I’m gonna write in this notebook you never get to read through with phrases

That i took from conversation with you, and throw them in the air with the

possibility

These will be the words that you’ll someday sing.

i only hope you’re listening

The calendar says it took about a year for me to displace all my fears and mold

it

Into skin so thick.

i want to shed it off and become fixed in awe over something

They see flawed and let its beauty soften my skin.

let me take in everything

That I’ve been missing.

if you’re trying to find your way, I’m finding a way to

try

Every word you ever doubted from the voice that screamed and shouted

And then broke down beyond repair, but it served its purpose if I know you’re

there

I only hope you’re listening cause I’m done wasting time and wasting breath
