Dear Diary

I don't actually have a diary, but I was somehow inspired by those words. So I went with it.

Dear Diary, 

He smiled at me today. 

What does this mean? 

What should I say? 

Dear Diary, 

My heart fluttered so nervously

Is this it? 

Will this one day be? 

Dear Diary, 

This is the scariest thing yet.

My heart, I think, 

is some kind of bet. 

Dear Diary, 

I can't help but smile when I think of him. 

Can I do this? 

Do it again? 

Dear Diary, 

How do you fall? 

how do you know when you're ready? 

Read for it all? 

Dear Diary, 

Is it too soon? 

I know there should be something, 

but there's no need to swoon. 

Dear Diary, 

Can you help me make this decision? 

I need to be logical, 

think this through with precision. 

Dear Diary, 

Apparently list making is not the way, 

I thought it'd help, 

but I'm not entirely okay. 

Dear Diary, 

I keep thinking this through, 

I never realized I'd be so pessimistic,

That this would make me so blue.

Dear Diary, 

I can't make this decision with you, 

and I can't do it alone. 

What should I do?

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I like the concept. You took a single expression and put it on a rotating pedestal. You made sure we saw it from every angle. I like that. I think its cool how the personality changes throughout. There is a hypocrisy here that is apparent in all humans. There is also fear of the unknown. I like how you've shown us that fear can make it impossible for us to "live". This is a simple piece. It has a very candid nature about it, but written any other way would be a total disaster. I found this poem to be genuine and thought provoking. It's candid nature allows deeper ideas to exist on a parallel. A Cambridge Shakespearean soliloquy wouldn't have allotted any space to read between your lines.

'Dear Diary, This is the scariest thing yet. My heart, I think, is some kind of bet.'

This was my favorite entry. The idea was very cutesy but was executed in a classy way. My only suggestion would be to refine your rhyme scheme and rhythm to something a little bit more consistent.

Great job!
