Sevenbits - Diary

My sister called and read me
mundane lines of teenage angst
which came from a diary.
I laughed and called it drivel.
Where did she find such a thing?
She then revealed she found it

in my old dresser drawer.

Memories, Andrea. When I look back on my life it sometimes seems like a movie that someone else starred in.

thought about this contest then decided not to enter, good thing because you have a winner....I'd say good luck but that would be redundant
