Oh how many hearts I drew,Oh how many times I wrote “L+S” in those hearts,Made me wonder who he was,Who once made me dream of stars?
Oh! Right, he was a star, One from Hollywood, no lessThe “L” meant Leonardo DiCaprio of course,How silly of me back then!
A hundred sitcoms we watch,A hundred Wodehouse novels we read,But there’s nothing funnier than reading,An old diary that shows what we’ve been!
Influenced so much by Betty CooperEvery entry began with a “Dear Diary”My Archie was so intangible,And yet what
Towards certain teachers there wereDetailed descriptions of hatredAnd the pony tails of some girls that wereUndeservedly perfect!
But all in all there were some lessons learntPearls of wisdom from younger daysThough they may seem so dumb now! They helped me reach where I am today.
Oh how thankful I remainTo those yellowed pages of my old diaryTo the thoughts of my eleven-year old self!A silly, younger, and yet wiser me!
