Dear Diary - Brazzaville

Dear Diary

Some days it’s hard to be a

Human Being

My step father drinks and beats my

Mom and me

And I stutter when I try to speak

Tears on my pillow

Dear Diary

The kids at my school like to laugh

At me

I’m tall and I’m skinny and have

Funny teeth

And I stutter when I try to speak

Tears on my pillow
