Dear Diary Poem by The Punk Poe Michelle Rice

'Dear Diary'

A garden of wants, thoughts & fears
Inscribing pages inked with only tears

Lying on empty pages, guarded secrets
Locked away so as to never speak it

Behind closed doors cobwebs of wounds
Mirrors cutting beneath albino moons

Melancholy lullabies youth waves goodbye
Hush hush little babygirl don't you dare cry

Photographed memories set in stone
Thorns ripping scars tragedy is home

Trapped inside a raging stiff breeze
Shadows of midnight coloring dreams

Babies breath choked by the truth
Family tree now decaying at the root

Thrashing in nightmares begs to sleep
Another family secret the diary keeps

Fearing the twilight of dusty tomorrows
Line after line, buried by bitter sorrows

'Wished on a shooting star last night'
'Camouflage the ugliness I feel inside'

'A tap on my door, my mind screaming'
'Smothering my youth monsters feeding'

Hollow & numb opened veins freezing
Succumb to the knife wrists bleeding

A penny for your thoughts dear diary
Breathing the pages the voices carry
