Every word I swallowed
I wrote in my mind
Every word I followed
I was just a step behind
I used to be in someone else’s story
But I jumped off the page
And rewrote another for me
No damsel needing to be saved
I can carve your name on paper
How you had stars in your eyes
And I’ll save the rest for later
My story comes with a price
But you can read about me
And all the battles I’ve won
How I learned to dust my knees
And how I dreamed beneath the sun
With lavender pillow thoughts
And magnolia feathered downs
The moon untied all my knots
And sang my written words aloud
No more silence in between
No more waiting to be seen
My story has now been redeemed
In a song far outside this dream
Love Always,
Lainey
