The Notebook

 

My own personal canvas

expanding its pages like a universe,

existing as my personal codex.

A safe-haven   

holding my deepest darkest secrets

dormant in a chamber of my heart.

My best friend

created as my book of revelations

counting the years

my notebook and I share.

Holding it close

and keeping its meaning closer,

jotting every thought racing to my mind

allowing the words to flourish and bloom.

Every page a wave in my endless sea of thoughts

twisting and turning with every creation

a novel full of dreams,

perishing under its own weight

as the reality burns the book to crisp.
