DEAR DIARY *** "Every day is a page to write a new story". *** Sunday        I wasn't sure dear diary, would I find a new home here                    Would this be a permanent place to live without leaving Monday        This morning I greeted them with a smile so wide                    Hoping they would accept this frightened, tiny me Tuesday       Hello diary, my little sister does seem subdued                    Like me she doesn't speak, but she seems quite wise Wednesday  Dear diary, my father is indifferent, avoiding me                    Does not treat me like family, more like an assistant Thursday     Quick scribbled note today, my mother wants my healing                    From illness and from gayness, She's praying every day Friday          I spoke to my social worker, I cannot live there anymore                    The care for me is too hard, they want me to go away   Saturday     Hello my quiet friend, today writing is so painful                   I packed my things to leave, can't speak, too broken                                                      *** Today         My sister wants me with her, she fixed a room for me                   She loves me and embraces me, I think I will go                  Tomorrow    I will have a home, and I will start brand new                   I will make this work, my diary, we turn this page, we're blank. *** 2nd place in contest: Quote Response Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron December 5, 2016
