Dear Diary,
I don't know anymore
You might be wondering
"What don't you know?"
That's the thing
I. Don't. Know.
I don't know
About life
Love
Friendships
Anything
I just
Don't know
Dear Diary,
I'm in pain
I don't know why
I just am
I don't know where it came from
I just know that's how things are
Dear Diary,
Why
Why
Why
I want to scream
I want to cry
I just want to curl up
In a hole
And never face the world again
Dear Diary,
I am foolish
I am stupid
Why am I like this
Did I really think
That life
Would be easy
Like a movie
Or one of the books I read
That everything
Would be perfect
When in reality
It's anything but
Dear Diary,
I will be okay
I will be okay
This is my mantra
Everything
Will be
Okay
I know it will
It has to be
Maybe not now
Not soon
But one day
All will be okay again
