So my project in English class was to create the diary of either Romeo or Juliet and I decided to do this. It was only when my mom suggested I try my luck with it on fanfiction that I even considered it. So here, ladies and gelntelmen, is entry number one in Romeo's Diary.

If only words could bear the sorrow which is now contained within me, then perhaps I could posses some relief from the burden which is love.
This not the first day Grief has sat with me in this sycamore grove and provided for me a bittersweet company. Nay, upon reconsidering, his company is pure bitterness. But I do suppose this is my punishment for shunning those who only wish to help me. They do not seem to realize, however, that they cannot. The problem is Rosaline. Or, perhaps, had she forsaken the path of chastity, Rosaline may be my solution. Oh, how cruel is love! How cruel is Rosaline! Unbeknownst to her, she hath left me to die upon Verona's bare streets, forever deprived of her! As a beggar shall starve without food, so shall I starve without her splendor. Without Rosaline. Without the unparalleled beauty of Verona's unparalleled mistress. What gives God authority to take her, and to leave me in anguish that cannot be put into words?
I am helpless, dearest Mother. I am hopeless, dearest Father. Neither Benvolio nor Mercutio can assist me when I have sunk so low. I keep locked inside my room from morn to eve because darkness is a shroud that hides me from those I love. If I am unworthy of loving Rosaline, I am unworthy of loving any other. And while I cannot seem to bond one decent thought throughout such a perplexity of grief, I know one thing with certainty.
I shall never love again.
So how was that? Good, bad, almost halfway decent? I've already written everything but I'm willing to change a few things if you would prefer. So review and let me know! I know it's short I'm sorry. I'll do my best to post a new entry everyday but, you know, the holidays are right around the corner. Plus there's exams. But I'll see what i can do.
Please Review!
