Dear Diary

by dollwithafrown   Jul 27, 2005


Dear Diary, can you help me?
As I haven’t felt this way before
The way I feel when my heart skips a beat
As that person walks in through the door

Dear Diary, I am a little afraid
Afraid of what lies ahead
I’m happy with things the way they are
But it’s just like what that person said…

--

“Be happy with your life
And please don’t take it for granted
This will get you far
And keep you amazed and enchanted”

“When things get tough
You know what to do
Keep your head held high and smile
And you will make it through”

--

Dear Diary, I have taken this advice
My life is what I hoped
But then this person came along
And I just barely coped

Dear Diary, I love this person
They mean the world to me
But they are different, they are strange
And make me blind to see

****

I can’t see the real them
They hide behind green eyes
I know there is a person there
But what I see is lies
The things they tell me,
They aren’t true
And I don’t know what to believe
And I’m scared in case I do something
To make them want to leave

****

Dear Diary, I have to go now
Carry on like normal, a singing tune
Hopefully things will be the way I want them
And I promise I will write again soon

Dear Diary, just before I go
Just want to say thanks for keeping me on
On the right track to where I wanna be
Thanks again, love Dawn.

    This is my favourite of your work. I've seen it tackled before many times and never liked the diary aspect of it, found it tired and infantile. This however I think is a breath of fresh air for a long dead subject.

    Its form is as can be expected from a diary and you find yourself almost asking if you yourself write your diary in rhymes and this is actually a selection of clipped out bits. Thats perhaps the nicest of thoughts it conjurs up.

    A dead subject is given new life in a delightful poem. The best thing about it, it does not come across as an attempt to get sympathy or attention as most of this kind usually do.

    This poem seems so real.. kind of like what someone would actually right in there diary.. probably without the rhyming though. lol. But the realness within it gave the poem a very nice effect. The flow and rhythm was really good and held up very well. Great job on this! 5/5

    Awh, that was good hun. The flow was good and I liked how you wrote to your diary. The descripitons were good but I felt more detail could have gone into them. Nicely done though 5/5
