Dear Diary Poem by Gwen Mathers

Dear Diary,
There’s Something inside me
I’m not sure you’ll believe

These thoughts in my mind
Take up all my time
With no sign of relief

The Demons inside
They plan to reside
Until I speak my mind

Once I am able
To put on the table
Feelings deep within me

Then they will leave
Again will I breathe
Struggle-free I will be

But whom do I tell?
They’ve cursed me with spell
Witchcraft and bribery

Angels, they promised
Will form an alliance
Performing acts of chivalry

Diary please!
Set this mind at ease
Grant me the satisfaction

I’ll write here on paper
Thoughts that will taper
Out of my mind, this contraction

Will I see the day?
Come what May…
In other words, let me say

Within the hour
My body will cower
Allowing a stage of death

My ears they will bleed
To you I will scream
In life I have done my best
