Scribbles - Madilyn Paige

I’m standing still in a daze

I’m hypnotized, going numb

Every time I try to spell it out

And say it right, it’s always wrong

I feel I slipped past this empty page

I’m sorting through these jumbled words

I’m searching for something more

A paragraph, a perfect phrase

The missing piece, I’ve gotta find before

My story’s over before it starts

Just waiting till I reach, the end

It’s on the page just when I think

My favorite time is over

You found the words I couldn’t sing

They show there’s more to discover

Without you the words are lifeless

Scattered thoughts that feel so mindless

Without you my story is just

Pen and ink on a page

Just scribbles

Just scribbles

Suddenly the story line

I couldn’t see, it’s coming clear

The blurry lines, they come alive

They’re taking shape, beginning to appear

One chapter closes, the next begins

And when I’ve reached the end

It’s on the page just when I think

My favorite time is over

You found the words I couldn’t sing

They show there’s more to discover

Without you the words are lifeless

Scattered thoughts that feel so mindless

Without you my story is just

Pen and ink on a page

Just scribbles

Just scribbles

One chapter closes, the next begins

And when I’ve reached the end

It’s on the page just when I think

My favorite time is over

You found the words I couldn’t sing

They show there’s more to discover

Without you the words are lifeless

Scattered thoughts that feel so mindless

Without you my story is just

Pen and ink on a page

Just scribbles
