The Diary.

The diary that sits alone in the attic.

The diary that smells like dirt.

The diary that is covered in dust.

The diary that is filled with endless knowledge.

The diary that is hundreds of years old.

The diary that was forgotten.

The diary that no one will ever read.

The diary that no one wants to read.

The diary that kept someone alive.

The diary that reminded the world of the past.

The diary that is locked.

The diary that belonged to a desperate soul.

The diary that was hand written.

The diary that contains dark deeds.

The diary that could change the world.

The diary that holds the secrets of life.

The diary that holds the secrets of love.

The diary that contains someone’s entire life.

A life that was shattered by darkness

Shattered by love

Shattered by destiny

A life that had meaning.
