Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was rough

So was yesterday

They didn’t take it well

Said it was just a phase

I know its not

And its just words they say

Still it stings

And it burns in my heart

This isn’t how I wanted to start

Maybe they will accept me someday

But for now the denial

Has to be ok

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was ok

Better than yesterday

They still called it a phase

But didn’t joke as much

They are talking to me now

I guess that’s better by a touch

Maybe I’ll tell my friends soon

Hopefully that will go well

Maybe they will except me

For who I am

For who I’ve always been

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was great

Much better than yesterday

I told my friends

And they hugged me tight

Told me they don’t see me in a different light

Told me it was alright

At least they love me for who I am

Thats a step

To taking a stand

They know how my parents feel

They don’t like it either

But they have said

They protect me with sword and sheild

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was a flop

Much worse than yesterday

My parents read this journal

And they called me a freak

Said my lie

Was running too deep

They called it a phase

That they would never accept

Told me to pick a side

To that they wouldn’t object

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx,

I have something to say

Today was ok

Unlike yesterday

I kind of rode the waves

Tried to play it cool

Avoided their stares

That seemed oddly cruel

I just took a deep breath

I know who I am

Who are they to stop me

They can’t

Even if they try

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was ok

Just like yesterday

I wish it was better

But It was all just kind of tame

My parents are still lame

Still calling it a phase

I want to buy a flag

To go to a parade

I want to be loud and proud

But I have to hide in a corner

And do quite the opposite

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was scary

But in a good way

My friends invited me

To go to a parade

I asked my parents

and they said ok

They said If i wanted

To make this choice of who I was

I might as well embrace it

While I still can

Dear Diary,

Its me Onyx

I have something to say

Today was amazing

I went to the parade

I got face paint

And a flag for my room

I met cool people

My friends were there too

Now to tell me parents

That wasn’t an option

Told them it was ok

While barely containing my excitement

Deary Diary,

Its me Onyx,

I have something to say

I thing it may all be ok

Today may be the day

They let me hang a flag

And put stickers on my laptop

They finally gave in

Tough witha lot of persuasion

I can finally be me

Thiugh quietly

Isn’t that amazing?

Don’t you think so,

My dear Diary?
