Dear Diary Entry Page 13

Dear Diary I know because I have been forewarned That when my name is brought up and I am mentioned and referenced in certain other people's company Some people choose to refer to me as isn't he funny but not meant as or to be complimentary But rather as they think I am joke and meant to be a poke Which only serves to prove to me I am exactly where I am supposed to and wish to be Because if they spoke of me or held me in high regard or thought we held similar opinions or points of view Then I fear I would have to take a long hard look at myself and revaluate who I think and believe I am The type of person who much prefer to gossip about other people when they are soundly out of earshot behind their back's Who wouldn't dare spout anything but praise if standing right in front of them whilst simultaneously avoiding all forms of eye contact just incase they see the white's or color of their eyes So Dear Diary please promise me that you will never to constantly remind me every time I decide to make a fresh entry To remind me that life is not a popularity contest based solely upon good looks an alarming lack of intelligence or morals and character But rather being able to look oneself in the eye and being able to sleep at night So gladly please feel free to poke away and think of me as joke it's merely water off a duck's back to me And ditto same , same here , here right back at you I think you're funnier than I am or could ever be difference being I am actually trying to be which is ironic because sadly you aren't
