Dear Diary

Dear diary, I'm worried
I'm frightened of the past
My mother's ghost does haunt me
And whispers, then laughs

I cannot control the future
And that scares me even more
What if I live no longer
And my present time is all?

There is a man I hunger
Of strange allure and might
Is he the one I've needed
To guard me from the night?

Did Newton really understand
Gravity and such like?
Or is it only I who is lost
And cannot find the right?

My dear brother teases
And hurts me deep inside
One day he locked me in a room
Whilst I lay alone and cried

Dear diary, what are the answers?
I need to know them now
Why do you not respond
When I have to know how?

Oh I remember those times
When confided in you I did
Relieving me of my troubles
When I was just a kid
