When i read
about the boys girls love,
the ones we hate,
the ones we can never have.

When I read
about the mean people,
the catty girls,
the horrible friends,
and ourselves.

When I read
about the family members,
grandmothers,
fathers,
sisters.

When I read,
i realize
girls put there diaries on paper,
on the internet,
for the world to see.

We let the univers into ourselves,
to judge us,
praise us,
and condem us.

These our our diaries,
our hearts laid bare
before the world.

When I read,
When I wright,
this is my life.

I read a lot of emotional stories, and poems. I realized that these people are sharing themselves with the world.
