Dear Diary,
Mood: Apathetic
My life is spiraling downward. I couldn-t get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and
Suffocate Me Dry Concert. It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs like -Stab My Heart
Because I Love You,- and -Rip Apart My Soul,- and of course, -Stabby Rip Stab Stab." and it doesn-t
help that I couldn-t get my hair to do that flippy thing either, like that guy from that band could
do, some days you know. . .

I-m an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You-d be non-conforming to if u look just like me
I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face
I-m almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
-Cause I feel real deep when I-m dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression most just call me a fag
-Cause their dudes look like chicks, their chicks look like dykes
-Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don-t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

I-m dark and sensitive with low self-esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Hallowe-en
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister-s mascara now I-m grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can-t get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me, it-s never any fun
They say they already have a pussy, they don-t need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don-t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

My life is just a black abyss, you know, it-s so dark. and it-s suffocating me. grabbing a hold of
me and tightening it-s grip, tighter than a pair of my little sister-s jeans . . . which look great
on my by the way

When I get depressed I cut my wrists in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped give me an erection
I write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glasses
I told my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I-m just a bad, cheap imitation of Goth
You can read me "Catcher in the Rye," and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said I like girls I-d only be half right

I look like I-m dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo
Screw X-BOX I play old school Nintendo
I must be emo
I like to whine and hate my parental’s
I must be emo
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo

My parents just don-t get me you know. they think I-m gay just because they saw me kiss a guy. well,
a couple of guys. but I mean, it-s the 2000s. can-t 2, or 4 dudes make-out with each other without
being gay. I mean, chicks dig that kind of thing anyways. I don-t know diary, sometimes I think
you-re the only one that gets me, you-re my best friend. . . . I feel lïke tacos.
