quiet

dear diary,

today is Christmas and I got a new Barbie.

she probably doesn’t like me because

i still haven’t taken her out of the 

last year on my birthday

i wished for a soulmate

i didnt get one

not in the way i thought i would

but i have you

maybe you were what i was wishing for

i know youll always pick me

i blew out the candles

and made a wish

i wished for love

like i always do

but something felt

different

more melancholy

like maybe i wont

get my wish

i have my whole life
