If my diary could talk it would scream out its pain. It would run and hide and weep for the things contained within it. It would whisper hints of darkness and ugly thoughts. It would shout from the rooftops of my triumps and acomplishments. It would speak of the things that hurt me and those that transfer me completely into joy.
My diary is like a cherished friend. It knows my innermost secrets, the thoughts contained within me. It has seen me at my weakest points and rejoiced with me when I was strong and healthy and happy. It sees me at least once a day sometimes more. We have a closer relationship than anything I've ever had.
It knows the heart trapped within me. It knows the longing and the passion. The fears, the angers, the reasons for being hurt. It sees me for who i am. No masks, no guises. Just me. In the simplest form. The way I am with myself. Be it bruised or elated. This is what my diary would tell you. It would tell you to be careful with me. To not treat me so harshly in the light of day and hold me at night to help keep my fears at bay. These are the things I tell it, things nobody else has ever known.
Until Now.
Because my diary has screamed it from the rooftops.
Please tell me what you think

Wonderful
The way you write about your diary is how I feel about my best friends. They know my secrets and see the truest parts of me and still love me and still keep my secrets. Thank you for writing this.

This is a very original piece, one of the most unique I've read on the site thus far. I like the way you describe what your diary would tell the world if you gave it a voice. I like the subject, because it's original, but throw in a few more personal ideas, like a specific entry to make it more believeable. In my private collection of poems (stored in a Pink Box under my bed) I have a poem called "That Box" (meaning the one I store under my bed) it talks about how while that box itself is plain and boring, inside it holds the tales of a battered soul, heart ache, tears and laughter. I added personal touches, to make THAT specific box much more interesting. While the poem IDEA is like nothing I've seen on the site, it seems like it could be anyone's diary. This is YOUR diary, with YOUR private thoughts, don't broadcast them to the world, but reveal yourself subtly through your poem, just like you would reveal your inner self to a diary. WONDERFULLY CREATIVE IDEA. A truly enjoyable read. Splendid work.

I love this piece because it's so easy to relate to. any writer or poet has some kind of journal or whatever they write in and its cool how you can write about the things you write about bad how peaceful it is to have a diary. It's a really cool write and I hope you keep up the good work.

my journal is that way, with me, it hears me like no one else can or ever will, does not mock me for who i am, stare at me for being different, laugh behind my back...for me, it is my only ture reflection, my journal travels, a roaming gnome of sorts. i keep it close and wish upon its stars, its hearts, doodled in margins when too lost in thoughts too lofty for words.
it’s a comfort to write …revelations which, i hope, one day will become reflections, now as caterpillars upon my pages wrapped in silken dreaming; hopes of life emerging. I treasure your words, i do know how this feels. bessings and best wishes, ~richard
