Dear Diary
Thank you for waking me up this morning
Inspiring me to look outside
And within
To find strength
In a place of loss
Counting off the hours
Assigning rituals
To minutes
Pointless
But grounding me here
Documenting
My wake
My wash
My wait
My words
Gluing memories to the page
Reminding me to stay in place

Oh, i love this.❤️
Great job on the prompt. Short and poignantly beautiful. thanks.
Lovely! I agree. I share a platonic love with my diary, too!
I love poems about writing, and yours just really resonates with me. I need my diary to sort out my days and weeks, tell me what I’m doing. I especially love the final lines.
