Dear diary,
It happened again.
He came home.
He scared me again.
I can’t take much more.
Before I run out the door.
It happened again.
He choked my mom.
This is getting old.
If he doesn’t stop,
My wrath will unfold.
It happened again.
I took the blade
And slit my wrists.
I couldn’t help myself.
I don’t have anyone to run to.
If only someone cared.
Maybe I would want to be here.
It happened again.
The power went out.
I lit the candles
And accidentally burnt myself.
Uh oh..
He’s starting to scream.
He’s starting to slam things.
I need my mom.
She’s nowhere to be found.
Uh oh..
The urge is coming back..
I won’t make it this time.
The pain is too great.
I wish I could have lived the life
I wanted..
I wish you could have seen me grow up.
I wish it was you and me, mom.
I’m sorry I got mad.
I’m sorry you married him.
But I’m okay now.
Trust me, one day
You will be too..
