This poem based on THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. It is a published novel written by a young girl during the time of the Nazi Invasion. I had to write this for English class last year. I'm writing as Anne Frank. Enjoy.
So here I am
I go by the name of Anne Frank
I wrote my life on paper
So one day, the world can understand
The pain that I suffered
The trouble my family went through
Just to keep each other safe
Our whole lives turned askew
We were caged like animals
Unable to roam free
Stuck with people I didn't know
The outside world was now a memory
See, I confided in a diary
Who was the best friend I never had
It listened to my thoughts and secrets
It had the ability to understand
With a pen in one hand
And the diary in another
I wrote about my darling Peter
My secret lover
He brings me the most joy
He keeps me warm and safe
He's got me wrapped around his finger
The only reason why I smile in this place
No one else seems to hear my voice
I'm invisible to mom and dad
He thinks I'm difficult
She thinks I'm a little brat
It's not easy waking up everyday to a mother who hates me
A sister who turns her back on everything I say
Let's face it, I'm no longer daddy's little girl
It's as if they've tossed me away
This situation never would have occurred
If it weren't for those Nazis
Killing innocent Jews because of their hatred
I'm wondering when they'll get me
Even though I may not show it
I'm terribly afraid of this war
I can't lose my loved ones
And I'm not ready to knock on heaven's door
But all I can do now
Is pray myself to sleep
"Dear God let me live a little longer,
I have too much life left in me."
