Dear Diary

Dear Diary,
I haven’t slept last night
Instead I’ve written melodies on your skin
And the words on mine
They’re so honest they bleed

Dear Diary,
They say I’m depressed
I don’t know what that means, I just know I’m sad
There’s pain in my chest
Why do they think I’m mad?

-Chorus-
Cause, Dear Diary,
I’ve been reading you on
And I can’t believe how much I’ve changed
Dear Diary, could it be really gone,
The me that wrote your first page?
The first ‘Dear Diary’ with a heart drawn
And a smiley face,
Dear Diary, where is that girl?

Dear Diary,
I forgot who I am
Because I focused on the girl I should be
I don’t understand
Why can’t I just be me?

Dear Diary,
I can’t bear to believe
I ever hoped for my dreams to come true
Or goals to achieve
Now that’s so hard to do

-Chorus-
Cause, Dear Diary,
I’ve been reading you on
And I can’t believe how much I’ve changed
Dear Diary, could it be really gone,
The me that wrote your first page?
The first ‘Dear Diary’ with a heart drawn
And a smiley face,
Dear Diary, where is that girl?

-Bridge-
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t know, I don’t understand
Anymore
I just wish to be who I am
Who I was before

-Chorus-
Cause, Dear Diary,
I’ve been reading you on
And I don’t believe I really changed
Dear Diary, I tell you she’s not gone,
The me that wrote your first page,
The first ‘Dear Diary’ with a heart drawn
And a smiley face,
Dear Diary, bring back that girl

I am glad you are posting near everyday now. That is something to look forward to when logging on. As for the lyrics...Oh my. I think this is one of those that would make you cry if you are effected by your own work in that way.
For me, it is familiar to me even though I have never had a diary of my own. The emotions are strong and the story is real, which makes it so appealing. Your writings are always so well done, I am not sure there is anything left to say about them! Does the music play in your mind when you write them?

Yeah, about that, I sometimes cry when I sing these in talent shows or anything. & I've never had a REAL diary, but my songs & poems are one to me, so...yeah.And sometimes I imagine the music while I'm writing a song, sometimes I don't. Actually most of my songs do NOT have melodies.
