I found a sketchbook today
Scribbled with words 
A teenager could once not say

The pain she kept hidden away
From the eyes 
Of people's dismay

I wonder what made her hide
Was it the judgement
Or the fear inside

She Let her pen glide
As her heart cried
As if it would suffice

If only I could go back in time
And make her realise
Darling, you'll be alright

The now yellowed out pages
And the worn out ink
Bleed through me

Burning those pages
I finally set myself free
From the anguish 
That rages inside me

I found a sketchbook today
Scribbled with words
I can finally say...
